    Every man has a

    head, even my own skin, and all of my eyes are upside down.

  • The past participles (and past tenses) “speeded” and “sped” are used in different grammatical situations. When “Speed” is intransitive verb, the past tense is almost always “sped”. When speed is a transitive verb, the past tense is usually “Speeded” (although “sped” is being increasingly used in this situation).
