Has anybody ever used their cpap machine to blow up a queen size air matress? It works pretty good!

Wen,

If these machines could make my nose bigger, I'd buy two.

Dr. Colin Sullivan invented the CPAP---and he did use a vacuum in reverse on that very first prototype!
Dr. Sullivan...the father of cpap? Might one then refer to him as "Pappy Cpap"?

Misspelling

Post by -SWS » Wed Jan 26, 2005 2:12 pm

Those guys in the picture aren't exactly "Road Scholars" from Oxford! Ironic which word they just so happened to misspell. Doesn't make me feel quite so bad for all my own misspellings!

Time to get the road "vacume" out for those two transposed letters!

P.S. I just had to go back and edit mispell so that it was spelled correctly. Sheesh! See what I mean? I better get a job with that road crew!

Clownshow,

There was a study that showed as long as you had the first and last letters of a word placed correctly, a person would be able to read the intent of a sentence of with completely incorrect spelling. So no worries mate.

Spelling Error


I cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd waht I was rdanieg. The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid. Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit a porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe. Amzanig huh? yaeh and I awlyas thought slpeling was ipmorantt.

Cheers,

I have started calling mine "Herman". This came from the TV show "The Munsters". Mine sort of reminds me of Herman, kind of big and dumb , but not quite as ugly
