I received an "F" in "Search Function" so if this has been around before, in this form or another, then, well, here it is again:
I received the following from a friend. The instructions are to see if you can read the passage out loud without much difficulty. Supposedly, those who can are at lower risk of developing dementia in the near future. I don't have any references or medical-professional endorsement for the test. It just seemed to make sense that, if you could read it, your mind is currently working pretty well. I guess that's a good thing.
I worry about dementia since it's in my family. Not fun - especially for those around the "victim." If anyone has any knowledge of the voracity of this test, I'd be interested in hearing about the details. Otherwise, this could be a minor diversion to at least a few of us. Of course, YMMV.

Could you read it? To my amazement, I could.
