Ok, here is something that I thought might be of some fun for all of us. If this has already been done then I do appologize.
The object is to figure out this brain teaser. I figure I will wait a week and then give the answer. Anyway, let the fun begin.
Brain Teaser!
This is an unusual paragraph.
I’m curious how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it?
It looks so plain you would think nothing was wrong with it! In fact, nothing is wrong with it!
It is unusual though. Study it, and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd.
But if you work at it a bit, you might find out!
Try to do so without any coaching!

What part of "no coaching" did you not understand, Faldage? But thanks.

You should know that white print is a red flag that says Read Me.

Now that Rhuby has responded in black  , I'd like to point out that this stylistic trick is called a lipogram: Probably the most well-known lipogrammatic novel is A Void ( La Disparition) written in 1969 by Georges Perec. His is not the first effort, though.
