Leave my typos alone!
See if you can spot the 3 typos in the first 11 words (a 37 percent error rate) of this blog entry, from the otherwise very worthy Web site Leave My Child Alone (http://www.workingforchange.com/lmcablog):

ok, ya bum, i fixed it : "The story of Rachel Normandy, whose solider-son Ryan was severely injured in Iraq last year..."
just so you know, i deliberately put those typos in there knowing that i needed to trip-wire the 37% typo-density threshold in order for you to alert your readers to the existence of our "otherwise very worthy" blog
so, thanks for playing along with stage one in my master plan for total blogosphere domination bwah-ha-ha-hah...
now let's step outside and settle this like real geeks...
