Heck, need I say more?-- spacecadet, Jan 28 2004 Hey, any lawyers around, could noodle manufacturers be responsible for the declining reading abilities of many children? Class action lawsuit anyone?

(Shocking.)

That brings up the idea of making whole sheets from bean-noodle material with embedded text.

Changing letter counts to match their local frequencies, to maximize the number of words to be found, might be a nice touch. Then start thinking about how to break into China (romanization would be cheating).
