Maybe you've seen this email - certainly an interesting insight into the way
a human brain can make sense of nonsense... I'm not sure if the (second)
author's claim about implications to AI are scientifically based or simply
opinion...

> To all, 
Thought you might enjoy this little mind demonstration.  Actually, the
reason we can read this is only partially because of the first and last
letter.  The real reason is the ability of the mind to form semantic nets
that can put together the meaning of the sentences while doing best pattern
recognition of words containing the letters.  The person who figures how to
do this with a computer will have moved Artificial Intelligence to a level
where it can truly be autonomous.
