amezriCarrie IMed me this earlier:
'Aoccdrnig to 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 total 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.' -DSM
Weird, but true. That reads perfectly fine on first pass.

Sideshow Weta is having a toy sale! :D But I can't buy anything. *whimper*
Army of Darkness 12" Ash Figure -$40 $20
Army of Darkness 12" Evil Ash -$40 $20
They have new full-articulated 12" Buffy & Angel figures that actually look like Sarah & David. Except they made Sarah taller... or David shorter. I'm not sure. Either way, the $40 price tag is making me cry.

Bruce Campbell wrote a new book! The manuscript for Make Love the Bruce Campbell Way was delivered September 1st, so we should hopefully see the publication early in 2004. Sweetness. Here's the warning attached to the book:
Warning: Not intended for consumption by attractive, irritatingly confident people who know nothing of the pain endured by the other 99% of us.
Is that a hook or what?

Time for bed. Working at 10am tomorrow. Yippee?

Date: 2003-09-14 09:08 pm (UTC)I'm sure it's got something to do with the fact that we recognize words by the shape the letters within the word form. Take "the" for instance. Tall letter, tall letter, curving down to the last, small, rounding letter.
This is also, incidentally, why WHEN PEOPLE TYPE ALL IN CAPS it's "hard" to read. All the words have the same damn shape! :) All very cool stuff, IMHO. :)
