Cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd waht I was rdanieg. The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid, aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it dseno't mtaetr in waht oerdr the ltteres in a wrod are, the olny iproamtnt tihng is taht the frsit and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae.

The rset can be a taotl mses and you can sitll raed it whotuit a pboerlm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe. Azanmig huh? yaeh and I awlyas tghuhot slpeling was ipmorantt!

Or maybe it was just the Guinness giving me super powers. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/thirsty.gif
 
and it evens get more confusing than that...remember "Speed Reading" courses that take it a step further...there you are taught don't only just focus the eyes on the first and end of the words you actually focus on the entire line and read by lines not words...those that master it can read at incredably unheard of speeds...it's gets pretty amazing what the old gray folds up there can actually handle!!!

(my only concern would be that one word in the whole sentance I might misinterpret like the joke that MickeyR put on a while back "CELEBATE" instead of CELEBRATE"...-chuckle-
 
On a related note....

I just got some neoprene 3" hose.

Probably not very exciting to most of you but, let me tell you how much easier this will make my life....

I won't have to reform it every time I put my air dam back on like the aluminum dryer tubing (on the right) that I have been using.
(And when I smack the curbing a little too hard..... My brakes might not pad fade on that side)

lifes little miracles...I've used the flexible rad hoses as well with outstanding acievements in lowering my Blood Pressure...
 
Well at 50 bucks for a 10' section....

I've been dealing with this PITA for too long.

Last week at BeaveRun was the brake'n point.

Coming into T10 at warp one and having the car lurch toward the armco as I hit the binders did it for me.

Holy c*&p!

[call w/ credit card in hand now & deal w/ buyer's remorse later]
 
So what do the phenomenal powers of the human mind and dryer hose have in common?

I'll tell you but, I need sleep first. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif
 
Its not about what the human mind can do - heck, we only use about 10% of its capability anyway....its about the discipline needed to better oneself through education...now that this has circulated for some time & become accepted, education will take another step backwards! Once 'experts' tout something as useless, whether or not it is becomes irrevelant to the argument!

Long live correct spelling rules!

What the heck, we don't need to learn how to spell English, most of us don't speak it anyway!

Somewhere along the line we humans have developed a great acceptance for things that aren't right/don't work.

Guess I was just wondering if LBC owners could read that paragraph easier than say....Other people?
