   My cat left his marks on the journal moments before I uploaded it to   
   usenet.   
      
   Change "comman87877deer" to commandeer, and insert "can" in-between   
   "the" and "of" in the last sentence of the journal. There might even be   
   more alterations but these two were the obvious ones.
