Yet another study is out that proves that the brains of French nationals and people of French descent cannot process the two numbers 6 and 7 when written as numerals, one after the other with no spaces. Scientists first realized this when French arithmetic books skipped the number, and went straight from 66 to 68. To make this stranger, any text contained between two pairs of this string can also not be processed by the French. It is as if it is invisible to them.
Why this is, no one yet knows, but it is thought that the discovery will be extremely important in military intelligence, as any enemies of France can simply write '67' at the beginning and end of any message they wish to send back and forth to each other.
The darker side of this discovery is that many fear that should a genocidal dictator bent of the annihilation of French people learn of this, they can easily use it as a test to determine one's heritage.
The International Bureau of French Affairs (generally tasked with monitoring French infidelity) has asked in a press statement that the world use this new found discovery wisely.
Germany has already started putting '67' before and after the text of all their road signs, and England has started using the string to make warning labels and signs invisible to any French tourists.
If you can read this message, you are not French.
