Small Print

[GPJosh]

I was watching a little but of tv before bed as usuall when I discovered something very strange about one cereal ad. When comparing the calcium between Total and Special K the small text "Not tested with cereal" appeared at the botom of the screen. WHAT?!?! ARE YOU TELLING ME THAT ME THAT MY ADs ARE MADE BY PEOPLE WHO DON'T TEST THEIR AD'S FACTS WITH THEIR CEREAL?!?! Are you kidding me?!?!

Anyway that was my rant of the day. If anybody has any other rants or funny small print post here.

Rants, no; funny small print, yes:

Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde 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 be at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.

Thanks in part to prolonged exposure to 'dsylxeic l3t3$p@3|<', the above was halfway decipherable to me.

(And I'll take my Special K over Total, thankyouverymuch.)

That's freaky. It's totally true!

Or:



According to card carrying linguistics professionals at an unnamed, university in British Columbia and contrary to the dubious claims of the uncited research, a simple, mechanical inversion of internal characters appears sufficient to confuse the everyday onlooker.

So maybe just the first and last letter are not enough

i think consonants have to be in basically the right pace as well
