Just got this in an email from a friend today. Entertaining read:

Don't delete this because it looks weird. Believe it or not you can read it.

I have a headache and all. Interesting.

I've seen this before, yet I'm always truly amazed at how easily you can actually read it...

I read through it at the same speed I normally read. But maybe that's because I've seen this before.

You've still got to get the right letters in a word - spelling is important... slpeling is important... suplilng is important... (yes - that third one contains a deliberate misteak ).

I got something similar via email a while back. Only that one was MUCH longer, about a page or so. Funny thing was, my roommate for some odd reason actually had trouble reading it in a couple spots.
