ok first one, ahem:
The paragraph below is most unusual. How quickly can you find out what is so unusual about it? It looks so ordinary you'd think nothing was wrong with it - and in fact, nothing is wrong with it. It is unusual though. Why?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Gatsby was walking back from a visit down in Branton Hill's manufacturing district on a Saturday night. A busy day's traffic had had its noisy run; and with not many folks in sight, His Honor got along without having to stop to grasp a hand, or talk; for a mayor out of City Hall is a shining mark for any politician. And so, coming to Broadway, a booming bass drum and sounds of singing, told of a small Salvation Army unit carrying on amidst Broadway's night shopping crowds. Gatsby, walking towards that group, saw a young girl, back toward him, just finishing a long, soulful oration ... "
The above passage is taken from the book "Gatsby" written by Ernest Vincent Wright in the late 1930's
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What is unusual about the paragraph above?
hint: Look closely at the words, what do they all have in common?

For lack of a better answer here's mine.
The first thing he did was go to the tavern, get drunk, stay for a week and left the following friday, THINKING only three days had passed.

Did he left the town between those two Fridays and went back... so he stayed only three days?
Or the town could be called "on Friday". lol

Okay here's my guess.
He came on Friday
Three days later, he got shot and died.
Then he was buried Friday?
*thinks*
Oh wait wiat no no!! I take it back!! i think I've got it!!
His horse is named Friday!!!
