Highena

Another clever photoshop job me thinks.

What kind of kid were you at school? Did you run with the “in” crowd? Or were you one of the dorks?

Do you want to take a test to find out how cool you were?

Just in case you didn’t get it here’s what the paragraph actually says without the spelling errors:

THE PHENOMENAL POWER OF THE HUMAN MIND. According to research at Cambridge University, it doesn’t matter in what order the letters in a word are, the only important thing is that the first and last letter be in the right place. The rest can be a total mess and you can still read it without problem. This is because the human mind does not read every letter by itself, but the word as a whole.

Amazing Illusions

The Pisstakers were so taken by this site (and our own rather flattering review of them) that they featured Highena on their “Spring Widget Saturday”.

Cheers guys.
