Spencer the thought provoker
Like Tia of the Crawling Ants, my mind was blown by Spencer the Soft Spoken Shaker's post YOUKNOWWHATI'MSAYING. I've seen the second trick he posted-the one where all the letters in a word can be mixed up except the first and last and the brain is still capable of reading the words easily. Crazy what our brain can do huh? I enjoyed the challenge of decoding the rest of his blog with no spaces and was pleased to find that the task became easier as I read. My brain seemed to adjust to the alternate form of reading. It makes me wonder just how much our brains are capable of doing. Mankind has barely begun to stretch the limits of their minds in any area but it's fascinating to imagine what we might be capable of accomplishing if we were able to employ 100% of our brain power. Just think about it: could we fly? Could we remember every word we've read, every face we've seen? Could we compute complex mathematical problems within seconds just in our heads? The potential possibilities are endless and almost scary, but it's fun to ponder.
