The paragraph below is most unusual. How quickly can you find out what is so unusual about it? It looks so ordinary you'd think nothing was wrong with it - and in fact, nothing is wrong with it. It is unusual though. Why?



"Gatsby was walking back from a visit down in Branton Hill's manufacturing district on a Saturday night. A busy day's traffic had had its noisy run; and with not many folks in sight, His Honour got along without having to stop to grasp a hand, or talk; for a mayor out of City Hall is a shining mark for any politician. And so, coming to Broadway, a booming bass drum and sounds of singing, told of a small Salvation Army unit carrying on amidst Broadway's night shopping crowds. Gatsby , walking towards that group, saw a youg girl, back toward him, just finishing a long, soulful oration ... "

The above passage is taken from the book "Gatsby" written by Ernest Vincent Wright in the late 1930's.

Again, what's so weird about this passage? I'll tell you in the end! :-)

There's most likely a confederate flag floating around somewhere and some encryption saying " and I hate jews, Ni##ers, sp#cs and f#gs"?

Oh, i forgot to add " in some cases, not all" Apparently that seems to appease people....

i blame it on the anxiety, but the other times, i can't blame it on anything....i have a hard time getting to sleep. and if i do fall asleep, i'm easily roused, followed by a battle to fall back asleep which i usually lose. i feel like one of those ambien cr commercials!

any good ways to help me sleep better, or fall asleep at a reasonable hour (aside from seeing the doc, which i am considering)?

When a woman gets a cold she can still hold her own, and look after the children, cook the dinner, buy the shopping, clean the house, and still go to work....she wins hands down on every level when she is feeling under the weather.......but here's the thing right.....when a guy has a cold, he behaves like he's dying, he needs a soother, or even the nurse......why is that?.....why do guys turn into little children who need their foreheads rubbed, and looking after when they have the slightest sniffle........do they like playing this card for attention or what?...........

There seem to be a great number of people out there who are always trying to prove that they have telekinesis. There are also quite a few people who are constantly denying that TK is possible. Why don't the people who "can" do it sit down with the nonbelievers and show them? And why don't the nonbelievers ever ask the "psychics" to sit down and show them their ability? It seems to me that there's no need for all the debating..
