Is that a misspelling or what? I think it's supposed to be 'without', no?

Irishstabber

Try using spellcheck on that and your computer might explode...

The fact that you could still determine what the word was bares testament to the analytical power of the human brain.

As a rcenet sutdy fnoud, the odrer of the ltetres in a wrod deons't mkae mcuh dfifrnece to our albitiy to raed it, as lnog as the frist and lsat ltteres are in plcae.

Really? I heard they were pretty slow.

Apparently the punctuation isn't important to the content either...

And this seems to have been dumbed down for email forwarding since i last read it. Only smart people can? But it's also fascinating because anybody can?

Hitchhiker's Guide to...

try reading A Clockwork Orange. that's one tough book to read!

Le Rack

Bram Stokers Dracula is difficult too

Myr

Ya I can read it. It's pronounced the same just spelt differently - does that make me sum kind of genius?

Yes

Nothing compares to reading an Irvine Welsh title...90% of his books are written in conversational Glaswegian or a similar scots accent. Great books once you get over the hurdle of actually knowing wtf is being said...

Gross Halfwit

I have seen it before. Was impressed back then...less impressed now.

Naos

Again, seen it ages ago, but its good.
Flukey: What did awsysas mean in your post??

Have a crack at Finnegan's Wake. I culdn't get past page two on the two occasions I tried to read it.

its pretty cool alright. they make you aware of the minds ability to organise data in a meaningful way when you are learning to sight read as a musician. with enough practice at sight reading you can read and register around four entire bars of the music on both the treble and bass staves simultaneously, with a glance at the sheet of say maybe a quarter of a second.
