For a full five minutes I decided to scan through my unread mails filed in categories that doesn’t need my immediate attention. One mail dated June 1, 2004 caught my eyes (Phew! it sat in my inbox for two years already. I almost always skip forwarded messages and filed them for later reading).

Anyways, the mail is titled:

THE PAOMNNEHAL PWEOR OF THE HMUAN MNID

It wrote:

I am sure I read this before in a forwarded text message though it’s still worth re-reading.
