Ok Mr. CSI :)
I may concede that "Computing" is possible from there:

But the rest, yes, they are MP's keywords, and they could have been on my clipboard.  Look at the dates, all the same time, so they would have been all in one paste.  Any estimations on how the rest of the files where made?  I can see how one was made, but I'm not getting how the entire string of them was made.

Good sleuthing to both of you, Brandon and Ryan.  Thanks!
Mystery solved enough that I'm happy, yet still curious.
