Default Reading the Magazine

Hi everyone,
I just got a submission for the Fox Hunt in our sister magazine, Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts that detailed how the reader went through the magazine. It thought it was interesting enough to share


1st Browsed thru magazine
2nd Read "Wood Review"
3rd Read new "Sawdust"
4th Found Fox


How do you read the magazine?

Bob

I still maintain there AIN'T no dam fox in my copy, but there is a secretly implanted computer chip that places one there after someone else claims to have found him and the next issue comes out with a "purported" location.

All I gotta say iS PHHHHTTTTT!

I turn on my scanner and place the magizine down on what I hope is an article and if it kind of hits and misses on words I know I am on mostly pictures. So I repeat the process throughout the magizine until I get to an article and the computer reads it to me and so and so on until I run out of pages. Wish we had better captions for the pictures so I could tell more about them. But this is how I get to read. As far as the fox WHAT FOX?
