I hope you didn't sprain your brain typing that.

This is a neat trick. It works in foreign languages as well. There's a German version I've seen.

I'm glad you explained that--I thought my misspent youth was finally catching up.

I spend a lot of time in yahoo chat, so that's a piece of cake.

Are you saying the quality of the typing is low there?

What about profanity filters! You could call someone a fcinukg alsshoe piece of carp!

that is freaking sweet. the first line actually took the longest because i was consciously trying to descramble it. then i just read the whole paragraph without any problems. reading many of jag's posts has prepared me for this i guess.

the researcher obviously hasn't been to the cellar though. we have some resident spell checkers here.
