If you can read this, you have a strange mind, too.
Can you read this? Only 55 people out of 100 can. I could not believe
that I could actually understand what I was reading. The phenomenal
power of the human mind, according to the research at Cambridge
University, it doesn’t matter in what order the letters in a word are, the
only important thing is that the first and the last letter be in the right
place.
The rest can be a total mess and you can still read it without a problem.
This is because the human mind does not read every letter by itself, but
the word as a whole. Amazing huh? Yeah and I always thought spelling
was important! If you can read this forward it.
