The human mind is an incredible thing. I also saw this a long time ago, but it still fascinates me. :)

Yep, fascinating indeed... almost as fascinating as the fact that you can read letter \"A\" just by looking at it and not by dragging your sight after each line :D

Seriously tho\', I think it\'s cool, but not really fascinating... it\'s minor to the fact that well trained person can read whole page just by looking at it.
Not to mention what mind can together with body, even without bigger training... just by belief or special state of awareness.

Also I don\'t think this spelling discovery shows power of human mind... rather it is yet another example of how easy it is to fool it: \"Give it a hint and a heap of letters... the dummy will use subconsciousness to save its own resources, and as a result consider it an actual word\" :P

With our brain and eyes we can also read as fast as 1000 words per minute (and more)  :D The world record seems to be around 3850 wpm.

And even with the mess you wrote it still is easy to fly over the lines as if it was normal text.

There are sentences with all the words properly spelled, with no grammar mistakes and still the average reader can not comprehend them.
  It\'s called poetry, sometimes.

Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference. \"  Robert Frost

Heh, WiseKran, didnt notice you had moved the letters around on that first sentance. I just read it and then i waited for an image to load on that empty space. Then i read the same thing again below and had to re-read the first part to see it. :D
