taking your mind off

Post by mm2 »

just another one to while away the time..

This is an unusual paragraph. I'm curious how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it? It looks so plain you would think nothing was wrong with it! In fact, nothing is wrong with it! It is unusual though. Study it, and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit, you might find out! Try to do so without any coaching!


who will be first?

Okay, you've got me hooked! Can't see any thing except no "e's" in any words, and that can't be it, can it.

:lol: :lol: Who said spelling was important, eh? It's a good job too, because mine is awful. That's why I use Google Chrome instead of Internet Explorer, it has a built in spell checker on everything I type, including this! :D

one more before bedtime

Riddle

After teaching his class all about roman numerals (X = 10, IX=9 and so on) the teacher asked his class to draw a single continuous line and turn IX into 6. The only stipulation the teacher made was that the pen could not be lifted from the paper until the line was complete.
