A message from the Universe
Saturday, April 14th, 2007 01:28 pmI just walked into the lounge and plucked a book from the shelf. The book was still shrink-wrapped though I bought it at least 10 years ago (from TSP, who used to shrink-wrap everything). I discarded the packaging, opened the book at random ...
... and found the exact same examples ('a bird in the the bush', a sentence with 8 f's not 6) that were used in Dr Guillaume Thierry's 'Braintrix' (on the brain's perceptual tricks), the George Hay lecture last Saturday at Eastercon.
*prod*, went the Universe. Pay attention. [...] shouldn't have to keep reminding you..
The book was Sue Knight's NLP at Work: I will be posting later about what prompted me to finally open it.
