  1. It wasn't so dificult to read all that. Besides what you wrote about reading, I have also been exposed to all sorts of written text and can read almost anything.

    But it was very interesting to see that in a text, thanks for that!

  3. I saw people alright. Whenever I'm unsure, I check it before saying one thing or another, otherwise I don't know, I might say sheep at first glance, who knows?

  4. Maybe I should have removed the text from the pic before putting it up there Minka ;)

    Nah, I'm just kidding, you'd be surprised though, when I e-mailed that off to a few friends, they did indeed see sheep!

  6. Ah Silv, trust you to take it to a totally new level. You're absolutely right of course, neither sheep nor people, but indeed sheeple!

  7. Um....I see dead people.

    Just kidding. I saw cats.

    No wait. That was your header.

    I actually saw people stamps.

  8. Ah, welcome here Reforming Geek, I don't believe I've seen you around these parts before!

    You know, I hadn't thought of people stamps, but that certainly works as well!

  9. I saw nekkid ladies! Yeeha!

    Actually mate, I was over at my favourite comic strip and I wondered if other people, um, like you and whatisname, had ever heard of 'wondermark'? It's absolutely brilliant. If I was doing a comic strip (and was very clever and good at that sort of thing) this is what it would look like.

    The front page, with twice weekly new strips is here -

    It's a bit scatological this week, which might put some people off. Which would be a shame since it normally isn't scatological. I know how North Americans are squeamish about this sort of thing. Anyway, if you want a good round up, the author has put together a greatest hits collection here -

    I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Ciao Ciao!

I've decided to use comment moderation simply because that way, I never miss a new comment on my posts. I'm really quite forgetful and tend to not remember how many comments had been in each post the last time I looked, so please bare with me and my memory lapses :)
