11. You gotta watch that praying to "doug" stuff....
Not only is that my Brother's name it was my Dad's and His Dad's name... It is My son's Middle name. They all have very off color senses of humor. Could end up being not good. IE you pray for protection so they ship you 4 cases of condoms that were bought at a "scratch, Dent and Fire Sale".

8. Many or perhaps most ? Real dyslexics are smarter than the average person
Note that bushie is NOT on this list -- I very much doubt that he is dyslexic -- he is rather an alcoholic and just plain old fashioned LAZY. I am a dyslexic -- so I should know.

The following people all have or had some degree of dyslexia Dyslexia is a syndrome in which a person's reading and/or writing ability is significantly lower than that which would be predicted by his or her general level of intelligence. People are diagnosed as dyslexic when their reading problems can not be explained by lack of intellectual ability, or by inadequate instruction, or by sensory problems such as poor eyesight. Because reading is a complex mental process, dyslexia has many potential causes. From a neurophysiological perspective, dyslexia can be diagnosed by close inspection of the morphology of the brain (usually upon autopsy). Dyslexia is also being associated with phonological difficulties, such as enunciation.

9. This was a copycat thread.
There was a post earlier entitled "Beautiful people, unite!" and so I posted this one to be a smartass. No offense intended. :)
