What, no ``asdf'' or ``qwer'' which happen to be my favorite two.
I'll give anyone $5 if they can type any other four letter word 
with each key not located adjacent of each other faster than I can type
``asdf''.    I've noticed that people around here usually use
``foo'' and ``bar'' more for example data types than filenames.
