A teacher displayed this for our class a few years back, and I just happened to think of it today:
Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.
Unfortunately, he failed to mention that it's not entirely true. You can learn more about it here if you'd like. I always found it kind of neat though.

Really amazing isn't it the way the human brain works? I read every single word without any problem.

I've seen it in Norwegian, but had no problem reading it in English either. I agree with Glenda, brain is fun.
