I've read that on about 4 different forums so far, and got it in my IM from a friend.

And I think its a load of crap. Why? Read this:

"Hello, my name is Biran."

Is my name Brian or Brain?

you know, I was a PhD candidate in experimental psych and we spent a lot of time researching this sort of stuff - word order, spelling and such - you can go nuts with that kind of research. It's somewhat encouraging, since our staff is mostly ESL and spelling errors are common here. Spelling errors makes it more authentic kung fu.

Nine out of ten Ving Tsun students agree.:D

And Gene, were you a candidate for a PHD, or for experimentation? Did they pick you, or has all your experimentation been on your own?;)

Notice the word I highlighted? Interestingly this is the only word that caused me to pause momentarily while reading and that's because it's a spelling mistake. Bizarre.

Philbert, you're a nob. Of course it's Brian - who the hell is called Brain? Except Pinky's mate and that's the brain.

LOL. That's so true.

:D

Exactly right - I read it as impotent and that's what tripped me up for a second.

Too much spam is right - and it all seems to be offering me viagra, a bigger schlong and a mortgage. Are these really the most important things in life?

Get hard, long, and in debt for about 30 years... sounds just about right to me....;)
