Yeah, once upon a time I had a chess program for DOS which read the keyboard by scanning the hardware instead of letting the keyboard driver do its job. It was a real PITA because it didn't know about anything other than US QWERTY -- and the letters "painted" on my keyboard are AZERTY.

God wanted to have a holiday, so He asked St. Peter for suggestions on
where to go.
        "Why not go to Jupiter?" asked St. Peter.
        "No, too much gravity, too much stomping around," said God.
        "Well, how about Mercury?"
        "No, it's too hot there."
        "Okay," said St. Peter, "What about Earth?"
        "No," said God, "They're such horrible gossips.  When I was
there 2000 years ago, I had an affair with a Jewish woman, and they're
still talking about it."
