Unscramble the Blue Letters

I said, I want to do this for four years, make some moeny, I was having a flmiay, and I would mature a bit, and maybe the business of nciuenescroe would mature a bit. Well, it took longer than four yares. It's been about 16 years. But I'm doing it now, and I'm going to tell you about it. So why should we have a good biarn theory? Well, there's lots of reasons people do science. The most basic one is, people like to know things. We're curious, and we go out and get knowledge. Why do we study ants? It's interesting. Maybe we'll learn something useful, but it's interesting and fascinating. But sometimes a science has other attributes which makes it really interesting.
