Analytical something.

We're going to work together today, to uncover an untruth that is circulating amongst the populous through mainstream social networking sites like Facebook, MySpace and Hi5.

HAH! Who am I kidding?! Hi5, mainstream!? I deactivated my Hi5 account a few weeks back, I only realized I still had one because my junk box was constantly being filled with emails about how tiff_4_U wanted to tell me how much she wanted to eat me all up with a cherry on top. But yeah, Hi5... CrAzY days. Hi5, I think may have originated "the wall" but back in my day of using it, it was literally written on ONCE by each of the people you knew who would give you a shout out. Here is an example of one of my shouts, I don't still have it so it's not word for word:

Usman's Wall:
Random friend: Rah! U manz dnt no bwt Uzi blud, he is jus bre jkes nd dat. Puls nuf gash and iz too sikk at footie like init bruv? Peace out Uz, u no I gt ur bak fr any beef ting lyk. Sfe.

I did a little sick in my mouth, TWICE while writing that. But yeah, that's another untruth. Firstly, yes, a lot of people didn't know about me fair enough. And I was quite fun to be around. But pulls enough gash!? This is just baseless flattery.

Which I quite like!!

I wasn't too sick at footie, I was ALright... Ok, I WAS quite good... Ahh, good times... And had my back in any beef?! NO! That's not true! I got into plenty of beef things and not a single time did any one GET my back, it was WRONG! You circle the people fighting, you encourage them, but you never help out. That's what always happened.

Wankers.

Anyway, I went off on one. Back to the thing we;re going to WORK TOGETHER on to decipher.

Here's something that's been floating about for years now:
Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it dseno't mtaetr in waht oerdr the ltteres in a wrod are, the olny iproamtnt tihng is taht the frsit and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe. If you can raed tihs, psot it to yuor wlal. Olny 55% of plepoe can

CrAzY stuff right? Well done, you're all part of that 55% of people, but BEFORE YOU GO RUNNING OFF TO POST IT TO YOUR WALLS!!! First consider the TRUTH behind the cleverly crafted, poorly written sentence...

RESEARCH at CAMBRIDGE University?! So what, a bunch of Phd students decided if it would be fun to jumble words up a bit and see if people could read them? What would the title of the paper be?

"Cna Yuo Raed Tihs?"
"Pborably."

And where it says: the first and last letter need to be in the last place and nothing else matters, what about words like utibnnaaalte? HUH!? That was "unattainable" right there. I'm sure 55% of you got it.
Which neatly brings me on to my final point. 55% of people?! EVERYONE can read that! And How comes, in the beginning of the paragraph it's written in a way that suggests EVERYONE can read it, and the ending contradicts that? It seems to me to just be a way to make you feel like a special one of the 55% of people that can read that sentence when in fact, you're in the 99% of people who aren't mentally deficient!!! Though you probably ARE the 75% of people gullible enough to fall for the crap that is written and post it on your wall.
I refuse to be counted in that statistic...
I posted it here for purely academic purposes...

Anyway, Have a happy new year!
Last year may have been wonderful or terrible for some of you, or a mixture of both. It may be that the wonderful things that happened to you could have been warped into some of the terrible things. You may have made mistakes, done stuff you regretted and want to turn back time to re-do stuff.

Well you can't. See this as an opportunity to wipe the slates clean and start fresh. Change for the better. Look to the positives and keep visiting this blog! Spread the word! Hurrah!
And good luck to everyone doing Exams in January, remember, this blog is NOT a distraction from revision. It's refreshment...
