dnot let mr dolinaba paly wtih yuor haed
Aoccdrnig to rscheearch at an Elingsh uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht
the frist and lsat ltteer are in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit a porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae we do not
raed ervey lteter by it slef but the wrod as a wlohe.
Amid the chaos of that day, when all I could hear was the thunder of gunshots, and all I could smell was the violence in the air, I look back and am
amazed that my thoughts were so clear and true, that three words went through my mind endlessly, repeating themselves like a broken record:
you're so cool, you're so cool, you're so cool. And sometimes Clarence asks me what I would have done if he had died, if that bullet
had been two inches more to the left. To this, I always smile, as if I'm not going to satisfy him with a response. But I always do. I tell him
of how I would want to die, but that the anguish and the want of death would fade like the stars at dawn, and that things would be much as they are
now. Perhaps. Except maybe I wouldn't have named our son Elvis.

The human mind is a beautiful thing.

That's fantastic.
Odd thing is, half the words looked correct to me until I went back and looked.

That's really cool.. Our bodies rock equally rock compared to Metallica or The Livid.
Most probably read so fast as most of the words are generally smaller. yuo konw lkie tniy.

How do you communicate those emotions that are so intense that no physical expression or series of words can even scratch the surface?

Your mind actually screws up your perception a lot more than you probably realize. It has a tendency to "smooth" out little ambiguities in
what you see and hear all the time.
Check this one out... it's crazy. It's a video of a guy saying "gah", but the audio has been editted so that it sounds like he
is saying "bah".
If you listen to the audio by itself you hear "bah" but if you listen AND watch the video at the same time then you will hear
"tha" or "dah". This will happen whether you want it to or not. Trippy.

When I turned the volume up, I heard "dah". When I showed my girlfriend, she heard "dah", then I told her to look at his eyes
and she said she heard "bah". She didn't know what the hell I was doing.

Back to what Dobs originally posted... I never actually saw a source listed for the alleged research which the jumbled statement makes reference to. I
did some research and found that this is actaully mostly bullshit. Some guy did do a thesis on this at Nottingham University in 1976. His findings
were a lot less dramatic than the above statement claims... It is in fact very difficult to decipher many words scrambled according to the rules
mentioned above.
Read an article by a guy who works at the university where this research allegedly took place
HERE.

Well, whether it's BS or not, Joel's little paragraph made perfect sense to me.
