Looking for game ideas I stumbled upon a gift called Synesthesia. A common form of synesthesia is Grapheme-Color Synesthesia. This is where person see letters and numbers (and sometimes music) in colors.

Another game idea, anaglyphs. You've all probably heard of this before. You wear red and cyan glasses and see images with depth.

I'm sure a lot of you have seen the Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy paragraph. However, it is not fully true! To prove this I will post the original paragraph (unscrambled), then the one that is out on the internet, then one that has been once again scrambled. Notice how the second scramble is actually difficult to read.

According to a researcher at Cambridge University, it doesn't matter in what order the letters in a word are, the only important thing is that the first and last letter be at the right place. The rest can be a total mess and you can still read it without problem. This is because the human mind does not read every letter by itself but the word as a whole.

Another article shows how this phenomena is almost as fake as the UFOs.

Read the fist part then skip past the the Other languages: to read the more interesting parts

If any of you are still interested in the stuff I'm selling, they're out on my Dad's Half.com account. MySims, Mario Strikers Charged, Daxter and Elebits have already sold and I haven't added any other PSP games yet.

EDIT: Mario Party 8 just sold.

I actually read the second scramble without any difficulty at all - and I read it before reading the first scramble or non-scramble.

Well theres one thing, you first read the normal version, so that helps you understand the second version.

I guess it'd be harder if you only read the scrambled text.
