er-no: the bringer of pointless information.
Thank You.

I fell for it too.

Is there some sort of scientific explanation behind it?

Perhaps it works with other minor words like it and or...

Now I am questionning what we really know.

Subliminal messaging is another interesting thing.

After all, if you can't count F's in a single sentence, what makes you thinkg your brain can't be manipulated by others with relative ease?

Oops. I read the message first then already knew how many F's there were.

Jesus er-no, your right. It took me another 5 looks to notice the of's!

It works because in "of" it's not an F sound, it's a V sound. You don't notice it when you read it.

There are 6 F's... ^_^

The reason nobody notices the F's is that it dosnt sound and begin with F

wow, thats some cool stuff er-no.
