Hey?? award of the week

There's a Japanese TV show where celebrities sit around a table and watch film clips about surprising facts. Maybe a species of fish that always swims upside down, or a champion athlete who wears women's perfume to confuse his opponents. Each celebrity has a button in front of him/her, and every press of the botton registers a "Hey??" (the Japanese exclamation of surprise, pronounced exactly as I've spelled it). Whichever film clip receives the most total Hey's is the winner for the night.

This week two items earned outstanding scores on my "Hey??" scale:

1. The long-missing Gospel of Judas was publicized (presently the NYT #1 most-emailed article).

2. The following paragraph, lifted from a chain email:

> I cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd waht I was rdgnieg. The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid. Aoccdrnig to rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae.
