Hope you enjoy it. <br /> If you've seen this before - scan it again, its still fun. <br /><br />Good example of specific brain functions: If you can read this OUT LOUD you have a strong mind. And better than that: Alzheimer's is a long, long, ways down the road before it ever gets anywhere near you (no accompanied by any warrantee, implied or specific and definitely not reviewed/approved by the FDA, CDC, or anybody with a lick of good sense).<br /><br />To my "selected" and suspected strange-minded friends: THAT IS YOU, MY FRIEND!! If you can read the following paragraphs in RED and GREEN below, forward it on to your friends and the person that sent it to you with 'yes' in the subject line. Only very good minds can read this.
