Jell-O!

You blame me?  Remember it had to get past 10 other players before I saw the ball.

Thanks to Spidey for this sig!                                                                                                                  .

I think you meant to say "Jell-OTM brand gelatin" there, JD, so you don't get sued....

this is more of a brain teaser than a riddle but lets see if you can do it (some of you may have done it before :P)

This is a most unusual paragraph - and so is its companion paragraph that follows. This writing may annoy you until you find out why it is so unusual, for you won't find a solution instantly. But don't go into a tailspin about it, for it isn't that difficult. But you will admit that it is most unusual. This writing looks so ordinary that you might think that nothing is worng with it. And, in fact, nothing is wrong with it. But it is unusual, and you must ask why. If you study and think about it, you may find out why, but you must do it without any coaching of any kind. No doubt if you work at it for long, it will dawn on you...who knows? So start to study it now, and try your skill at finding out what is so unusual about this writing.

Answer (for those that don't want to figure it out on their own:) Your text does not contain the most common letter in the English alphabet, the letter "e".

A rarity indeed.

If you are able to understand this riddle, congratulations! You may be completely stumped by what seems to be a long paragraph that drones on for ever and ever. Can you see what is going on? Go away and ponder it for a while, next time you have a free moment. Think carefully, of all the possible things that may be happening - a good trick is to stare at all the words in this paragraph until you spot the hidden meaning. New ideas may well pop into your head all the time, one more crazy than the others. But one idea will be the right one - don't be discouraged if you take a while to get it! Be creative when you are going over the possible meanings in your head; too many people take one look at this and give up because they spent much, much less time than they could have. Longer times than a minute are necessary of course!

Well then, off you go!

I should say that the answer to the riddle, and the riddle itself, is in that paragraph somewhere. Find the hidden message.
