This one might not be new to you guys, since it originally made circulation back in 2003, but it was new to me. Sadly, the Internet brings us both intriguing snippets of information, and just as quickly shatters them with reality. Snopes is, as usual, a decent starting spot to find more information on this “legend.” But with a quick google I found a far more impressive write-up on this scrambled language meme.
