What is so unusual about the sentence below?(aside that it dosen't make a lot of sence)

"Jackdaws love my big sphinx of quartz."

Zaux said...: I need to look it over again, but it seems to contain every letter of the alphabet; February 10, 2010 7:53 PM
Zaux said...: Contains every letterr of the alphabet except "f"; February 10, 2010 7:57 PM
Knightmare said...: Zaux...it does contain a "f"
in "of" but most don't see that one(reminds my of another riddle); February 10, 2010 8:08 PM
Knightmare said...: Zaux...you were close enough

it is the shortest sentence that includes every letter of the alphabet; February 10, 2010 8:12 PM
Zaux said...: yea ... I see the f ... should have looked more thoroughly before posting; February 10, 2010 8:18 PM
Ragknot said...: I've seen many times, a short paragraph from which you are to count the "F's). Usually people will skip over small common words like "of". You can count several times and your eyes will bypass words you commonly skip over when reading.; February 10, 2010 9:12 PM
Knightmare said...: hi Ragknot

i was it in a u-tube riddle
