harrypotter4444 Feb 15, 2008	Thiswas so funny!great teaser griledcheese!
stephiesd Feb 25, 2008	Nice job.
claudia7950 Feb 25, 2008	easy but real fun. I had read before about those people saying those funny things. I always wondered why such people become so important with all their flies in the attic...
katjojo Feb 25, 2008	Fun teaser!
kratsg Feb 25, 2008	The only downfall is that it tried to be a good teaser but failed with the scrambling of words. In order to guarantee truly scrambled, the beginning and ending of the word must not be the same when scrambled such as: NOT: practically --> ptcalarcily SHOULD BE: practically --> ytcalarcilp Something like the latter is much harder to unscramble than the former.
bradon182001 Feb 25, 2008	Maybe kratsq is right, but I liked it just the way it is. Nice teaser, thanks for posting.
4princesses Feb 25, 2008	It was very easy, but at least you could get a good laugh out of it!
doehead Feb 25, 2008	About as easy as scrambling eggs.I personally didn't like it. Sorry.
tpg76 Feb 25, 2008	Com'on folks, this is a fun teaser and the quotes are funny, but please realize that Dan Quayle (at least - maybe also the others) was poking fun at himself. He may not have been the sharpest knife in the drawer but he rolled with it and at least kept up a good sense of humor. This is simply an example of that - give him a little credit.
phyllisa Feb 25, 2008	5 seconds. Too EZ for me but the quotes themselves are very funny
avonma Feb 25, 2008	I think that was perfect. Also, easy. Thanks!
tommysmo Feb 25, 2008	easy but fun!
mandyinpink Feb 25, 2008	lol. yeah those comments are pretty stupid, but the first two are surprisingly sensible in their stupidity.
smartymarty Feb 25, 2008	Easy, but fun and funny.
Trishgal Feb 25, 2008	Easy, yet fun . Thx.
fatster Feb 25, 2008	Com'on tpg, he was only kiddin' about inventing the the Internet too, huh? Oh...wait...that was the other loser that made stupid statements on purpose!
preppygirl Feb 25, 2008	scnecie porevs taht any hmuan can raed a wrod as lnog as the fsrit and lsat ltters are in the croect palce. i dont get the last one.
preppygirl Feb 25, 2008	oh....duh. lol.
auntiesis Feb 25, 2008	Too easy by far, but a I have a good laugh every time I read those quotes. Thanks.
mrtickles Feb 25, 2008	This teaser needed to be easy so that Brooke, Bob, and Dan could solve it.
AKsportygrl Feb 25, 2008	it was really easy, but I liked it!
2ndhandrose Feb 25, 2008	Could have scrambled the letters a little more to make it more difficult but I liked it anyway. Good laughs there
AuthenticallyMe Feb 25, 2008	Awesome teaser! Easy, but it was fun b/c of the meaninglessness of the quotes...thanks for the teaser.
tpg76 Feb 26, 2008	LOL, yeah fatster - I think that he (Al G.) might actually have done that - the jury is still out! As for Danny Q., com'on, this is all small potatose, no? And kf you ask Ted Kennedy, both are just more water under the bridge.
dogg6pound9 Mar 01, 2008	easy, fun, and even funnier... i got a laugh out of them, as i do everytime i read one of the mant stupid state laws that still remain in existence ... if anyone is bored and interested, this is one of my favs... check it out http://www.talkgold.com/money_blog/?p=70
elentir Feb 25, 2011	The phenomenon of scrambling words while keeping the first and last letters the same and yet still being readable is not at all universal. It only works in some cases. Here is a link to a study on this (http://goo.gl/zOzHh) where they give three examples where it becomes progressivly more difficult to read: 1) A vheclie epxledod at a plocie cehckipont near the UN haduqertares in Bagahdd on Mnoday kilinlg the bmober and an Irqai polcie offceir 2) Big ccunoil tax ineesacrs tihs yaer hvae seezueqd the inmcoes of mnay pneosenirs 3) A dootcr has aimttded the magltheuansr of a tageene ceacnr pintaet who deid aetfr a hatospil durg blendur Also, they give this example which could have several translations: "The sprehas had ponits and patles" This might come out as... The sherpas had pitons and plates. The shapers had points and pleats. The seraphs had pintos and petals. The sphaers had pinots and palets. The sphears had potins and peltas.
gaylewolf Feb 25, 2011	I liked this quiz and of course it was very funny! I hope that Brooke, Bob and Dan were intentionally being funny! and, Elentir, your comments were interesting and informative!
Illusionist Feb 25, 2011	Nice teaser.
ka-ching Feb 25, 2011	Hilarious.
HarryPutter Feb 25, 2011	I have another stupid quote: "fi qzoiuns dnidt eisxt nitheir wloud I" - grilledcheese
