Yes I Can

Here's another trick of Doctor Dementia to test your brain skills...
Can you meet this challenge?
 We've seen this with the letters out of order, but this is the first time we've seen it with numbers. Good example of a Brain Study: If you can read this OUT LOUD you have a strong mind. And better than that: Alzheimer's is a long long, way down the road before it ever gets anywhere near you.

To my 'selected' strange-minded friends: If you can read the following paragraph, forward it on to your friends with 'yes' in the subject line. Only great minds can read this. This is weird, but interesting!
 
If you can raed this, you have a sgtrane mnid, too.
 
Can you raed this? Olny 55 people out of 100 can.
 
I cdnuolt blveiee that I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd what I was rdanieg. The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid, aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it dseno't mtaetr in what oerdr the ltteres in a word are, the olny iproamtnt tihng is that the frsit and last ltteer be in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can still raed it whotuit a pboerlm. This is bcuseaethe huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the word as a wlohe. Azanmig huh? Yaeh and I awlyas tghuhot slpeling was ipmorantt!

Easy read after the first few seconds. But then I can read things written backwards as well.

Funny how people are judged for a spelling error here on the blog, and not the content of some of the messages. Spelling is so irrelevant, my kid just graduated Maga-cum-lauda, or whatever how it is spelled, but the point is, he is a terrible speller. He proves it every time we play scrabble!

So...what have we learned by the comments....no more need to spell...(auto correct)...no more need for math (calculators and computers and cell phones) No more cursive writing needed...lets see....what more can we do away with while we are dumbing down this country????

The elite or 'leet' text portion (top part) was actually introduced by computer geeks & hackers early on in our 'computerization' era (c.1980) to exhibit status on BBS (Bulletin Board Systems) and in IRC (Internet Relay Chat) channels. I actually use the system to semi-encrypt passwords even now.
