yes, you've won, the funny thing about it is, we are still able to read a text 
file processed by the script with nearly no extra effort.
The scientific experiment behind it is, that it doesn't really matter in which 
order the characters in a word are, as long a first and last letter are in 
correct order, we are able to read it. I guess it wouldn't work so well with 
unknown words =)
