(Utne) Unlikely
In a typical day of web browsing, your eyes will scan more words than appear in "War and Peace," and 90 percent of them will be misspellings of the word "Viagra"

There are 826 words on this page.

The far wall is 44 1/3" from my computer monitor.

There are 612 bricks in my chimney.

The rubber mat in the bathroom has exactly 457 complete hexagons and 113 partial hexagons.

It is exactly 27 steps to the bathroom.

It takes 3 complete flushes of the toilet to eliminate the contents of a cafeteria lunch special from yesterday.

I have noticed that all of this scanning and scrolling and control + f stuff has lessened my tolerance for actually reading anything. I used to be an avid reader and now I just quickly thumb chapters looking for key phrases or things that leap out at me, then I skip entire chapters. I suck at reading and its because I've spoiled myself with internet.

I am reminded of the time my little brother and I counted every brick in a Cairo train station.

Pretty sure he knows the exact number, all I know is... "A lot."

Does that make me a shallow person, or just not an obsessive one?

War and Peace taught me that drinking heavily with a bear named Mishka can be great.

Speaking of typical web browsing, I would like to thank the creators of that farking "Seth and Alex" ad on the right for reminding me why I love Adblock/Flashblock and need to reinstall it right farking now.

Seriously? You can't make a Flash ad that DOESN'T interfere with navigation and choke my browser? Here's a summary of my experience:

*clicks link....5-10 seconds later page changes. Repeat every single motherfarking time that this ad shows up. *

Seth and Alex can both EABOD and DIAF.

/Rant off. Sorry.

If you are looking at words on the internet you're doing it wrong.

That is unless you are chatting with hot babes all day.

Then it's cool.

Having just read War and Peace and feeling rather smug about it, I am getting a kick out of these replies....

So you are saying that I could scan War and Peace in a day?
