I remember reading about this back in high school when I first studied psychology (early �80�s). It should also work when you delete or add an extra letter or two to a word & sometimes also when you add an an extra word too!

The brain is a funny thing!

p.s cool picture there me old �china plate�!

I received this same text via mail 4 years ago yet it was in Turkish..

But reading the English version of it is also very enjoyable.
