[Stoo]

yup, for some reason the human brain doesn't bother to count small words like "of"

The other good one is:

Aoccdrnig to rscheearch at an Elingsh uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, olny taht the frist and lsat ltteres are at the rghit pcleas. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit a porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae we do not raed ervey lteter by ilstef, but the wrod as a wlohe.



There's a bit more on the latter over here: http://www.languagehat.com/archives/000840.php
