Yes, it is quite amazing isn�t it. Many of my Japanese friends & colleagues didn�t realise (or believe) that this can happen for native or fluent English readers.
Japanese uses pictographic & syllabic systems and it doesn�t work the same way for word construction.
Does it work with Arabic or Cyrillic characters too?

Yes, it works with Cyrilic, too.
I had to text a friend to see if she would comprehend the message. I thought it would be different because Serbian has phonemic orthography (30 letters=30 phonemes) and because we "write as we speak, [and] read as it is written" (thanks to the Serbian language reformer, Vuk Karadzic (1787-1864)).
Admittedly, i made an erroneous assumption. My friend was not discombobulated a bit by the text!

I suppose this works with slavic languages pretty well... Slovak, Czech, Polish, Russian - no problem. I have already seen a similar e-mail in Czech and I was really amazed.
I didn �t know it works in English too :-)
Thanks a lot for pointing...
Lovely idea, Alien_boy.
