A look back on popular stories from today in a specific year.

You spelled "udders" wrong
fail
No, not fail, necessarily...Just an unbelievably bad pun. Rofl.
No he spelt 'MOAR' wrong.

I came here to make this same joke and I'm glad I didn't. It obviously didn't receive the reception I had expected.
Same as AP; I signed on to make a horrible "udder" pun - glad there are others who appreciate bad jokes.
Also, I believe "chiken" is spelled "chikin."
It's a reference to the Chick-Fil-A advertising campaign.
Now I'm hungry for their awesome sandwiches, and we have none near us. Daggumit Engadget!
Wow... just wow....
Looks an awful lot like a Happy Hacking Keyboard (the USB one, not the original). I'm not sure what the stubby keys on either side of the space bar are for, though.
Man, I really miss my HHK.
I agree, it looks eactly like the HH2 lite, up to and including the inverted T keys being lower set and everything.
The keys next to the spacebar will be the kana keys, it's a japanese keyboard afterall.
ALERT THE PETA!
it's spelt pita, PITA. but whats it got to do with labanese bread anyway?
It's spelt Lebanese, but what's it got to do with good grammar anyway?
It's spelled Lebanese. LEBANESE.
@kloo:
What's Lebanese bread got to do with ethical animal treatment?
@ Shea: I think he is talking about Dogs, not lebanese people.
What's correct spelling got to do with Engadget comments anyway?
alert the People for the Eating of Tasty Animals?
Yuk! Disgusting! °_°
Yeah i know sick!
I wonder how typing on it feels. Must be good.
it feels like tapping on your grampa's forehead. Without the regret of knowing you had no respect for your ancenstry.
Skin oils degrading the leather, plus crappy rubber domes underneath (it's a Happy Hacking Keyboard Lite 2 underneath.)
If its a lifetime warranty then it might be worth it. I go through at least a keyboard a year if not more. So that's anywhere from 4-7 years and its paid for itself. Question then is if USB will still be around as the keyboard standard or not.
Damn man, maybe you should get a girlfriend or you know, do it somewhere else.
College for one thing. Engineering degree so I don't even have time for a gf if I want decent grades. Then when I do have free time I don't have a car so all I can really do is game =P Plus I compete on and off for gaming for side money so that's almost like a job. If you can find a place for time in there I'm alllllll ears!
The Happy Hacking keyboards (which this appears to be) are extremely durable.
Can also replace the internals very easily.
mb: This one's an HHKB Lite 2, though - basically, a rubber dome board with the HHKB layout.
An HHKB Pro would give you (almost) the same layout for a couple hundred less, with much better feel and durability.
Anyone else reminded of Chick-Fil-A ?
Yes, because the headline is a blatant reference to it.
*Sigh* I wish they had Chic-fil-A in the UK
Everyone knows keyboards are bacteria-magnets, right? I wonder what this one would look like without regular cleaning...
CO - SIGN
Although, I somehow think the person with expendable scratch for this both rarely touches a keyboard and has a manservant or bipedal chimp to handle general sanitation.
YES! finally...this will go nicely with my Leather mouse, leather monitor, leather mouse matt, leather desk, leather chair, leather graphics card, leather mobo, leather case, leather everything...
Your leather outfit and leather whip too?
No cows were harmed in the making of this keyboard!
Looks like a novelty keyboard cake. Bet it smells nice though.
any other vegans out there?
Let that thing sit in a highly humid room for a few months and you got, MOLD!!!!
Yuck. I like a quality leather product as much as the next guy, but a keyboard? The leather on the keys will wear out in months, if not weeks, ending you up with a $600 keyboard looking like roadkill from Death Valley.
Its "Eat Mor Chikin"
You remind me of a tin of meat.
Hey this bot I found yeterday
It give infomation about scam
It looks like a piece of Swiss chocolate and tasty too.
Jesus, it looks as if Hannibal Lechter made this in his security glass walled cell...
"Grotesque" comes to mind as a suitable adjective for describing this keyboard.
