<p>Mannys, The lnik prvosdies the unscarbmled paargrpah</p>

<p>Kind of like the phrase:</p>

<p>Paris is certainly
beautiful in the
the Spring.</p>

<p>Most people don't notice the two "the"s, as the brain links the first and last words in lines of text.</p>

<p>Fascinating.</p>

<p>I've known about this for a long time. Since 6th grade, I think.</p>

<p>^ Me too...</p>

<p>Hi. My
name is
MannyS.</p>

<p>I bet you missed the letter 'q' in the above sentence</p>

<p>In other news, John Lennon is dead.</p>

<p>umm Manny, I think you yourselqf forgot to add the "q"</p>

<p>I bet you missed the letter "q'" in yourself!</p>

<p>kinda calling this an urban legend, but also has some really interesting links.</p>

<p>Naw, I highly doubt its an urban legend. I read it and understood perfectly what the paragraph stated so yeah,
KInda scary too</p>

<p>I don't think it's that amazing. It's logical that our brain processes words as a whole. Otherwise, people would so much slower. It's a bit like making a big deal out of how people look at a painting as a whole rather than observing every brush stroke.</p>

<p>Actually rocker, our brains are amazing simply because we only use at least 10% of our brains and if we were to use 100% of it (which probably won't happen in a million years), do you know the things we are able to do (according to studies)? I heard psychics and other people who perform supernatural things are able to use a larger percentage of their brains than the average human.</p>

<p>Note to self: Conduct research before arguing point.</p>

<p>edit: Yes, I completely agree with you. The brain definitely is amazing. However, what you just wrote is completely irrelevant. I said that I don't think it's amazing that we read a word as a whole, not that I don't think the brain is amazing.</p>

<p>You just figured that out? It was news...what 8 years ago?</p>

<p>MannyS, are you talking about the letter 'q' in this sentence: 'I bet you missed the letter 'q' in the above sentence'? I copy-pasted your whole post into a word processor, and search for 'q', and the only 'q' I found was from that sentence.</p>

<p>I think that MannyS was playing a joke. Just a hunch, though.</p>

<p>Ditto^]]]]]
He's just trying to break necks</p>

<p>& yeah, I thought you meant the brains overall power. sorry, I misinterpreted</p>
