A Blue Peter badge for whoever posted the original quote.As my English teacher miss Beasley would have said:" self expression might lead to Shakespeare.but this aint it..."

Yeah that's definitely cool! I think I saw this demonstrated as part of a documentary on the brain a while back. If I remember the name of the documentary, I'll share it later on.

I saw that too. Was on Discovery or the Science channel a couple months ago.

Hi,
Interesting.
Did you also know that MySpace is now the Number 1 website visited by Sexual Predators?
Anyway, that's what a National Network News organization said.
Forgot now which one.

Yes, but it is the 8th most visited site in the world... so if sexual predators are visiting sites out there, then they would likely be visiting that one, too lol

I hear a lot of controversy over that but little girls shouldn't be giving strangers their addresses or phone numbers anyway...

Just curious but why do you bring that up? What possible connection does that have to the subject Jizzle was raising in sharing the quote?

If you want to start a discussion about how cyberspace is unsafe, then start one.

Right.
I, too, wandered.
In any case: the subject which started this thread is well known in Psychology, it's called "the Geshtaalt effect" .
It's the same thing like when you see a square missing a corner, but in your mind, you automatically see it whole, and that's how you remember it!
