This is a most unusual paragraph. How quickly can you find out what is so unusual about it? It looks so ordinary, you'd think nothing was wrong with it and in fact, nothing is wrong with it.
It IS unusual, why? Study it. Think about it and you may find out. Try to do it without coaching. If you work at it for a bit,it will dawn on you. So jump to it! Try your skill at figuring it out!
Good Luck - Don't blow your cool!

billyb0y,

The things I think may be peculiar about it:

It is a palindrome.

It was typed with only one hand (where's my Playboy at, MF?)

You would never know it even existed if you had not read it first.

The subject of the paragraph is the paragraph itself.

There are no mentions of how great a current movie would have been if it was made with Richard Pryor and Peter Sellers, Al Pacino, Fred Williamson, or Thalmus Rashulala.

OK, maybe I'm a little off. At least give me an "E" for effort... ;)

billyb0y,

Was that really the answer(s) to it?

Or was the fact that it was in every sentance part of it?

JTF,

I'm slow...there's no "e"...I feel like a huge retard. How many times did y'all have to say that the answer was right there?

You have won the battle, but the war...was over before it began...

JTF,

I looked at your clues and went back. That was so easy. I think I've seen it before.

Good one though.
