My daughter-in-law just sent me this. It’s doing the rounds on the internet. Why does it work? Something to do with pattern recognition from minimal cues?
Only great minds can read this.

There’s a good overview of this meme at http://www.mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk/~mattd/Cmabrigde/, and a nice discussion of the phenomenon itself about halfway down the page.
Except that comma’s not meant to be part of the URL, sorry… Try http://www.mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk/~mattd/Cmabrigde/ on for size.
