Today's Daily Brain Teaser (Feb 21, 2015)

Daze



My author's uncertain yet my title's the same,

I contain random text yet order's my aim.

Read me one day and see my pages are totally bare.

Try again another day and the words will be there.

I'm not a book of magic although it may sound,

I can predict the future, and inside, your life can be found.

Move my eye, I become involved in lactic extraction.

But that's just a clue, a minor distraction.



What am I?





Check Braingle.com for the answer.

2. "Railroad crossing, look out for the cars."

Can you spell it without any "R's"?
