sdrawkcab si siht tihs.

A grasshopper hops into a bar and goes over to the bartender
"Hey, I hear you have a drink named after me," says the grasshopper
"Yep, we sure do" says the bartender
The grasshopper replies, "but why would you name a drink Bob?"

Gee Smitty, that was a long way to go for the payoff.

Umm, not sure how to respond. Is that a complaint?

I'm getting the feeling that I should lose the right-to-left thingy.

Ya think?

Objection: ambiguous.

Ya think there are websites that generate upside down text, or ya think I should lose the RTL thingy?

I'm sure that may be one of those that we may find generally useless after the initial ooh-aah! thrill wears off. No rush, though, IMO.

This board requires you to be registered and logged-in before you can view hidden messages

I like it. It's another layer of security to frustrate technically challenged birfers. Hidden + sekrit + backwards text with a white font. Better than pig Latin written with lemon juice..

Now, the upside down isn't fixed that way...

Easy, use the rotate 180 degree rotate feature on your video card, or get a swivel monitor, or stand on your head...

It's just stoopid. The birfers don't understand what you type anyway. Duh.

Grumpies are against everything. Their vote shouldn't count.

That is exactly what is going on here. You know how boys are with their toys? If that makes you Grumpy then we are doing you a favor, right?

Also, theoretically, we are trying to present material to those who may visit to find information. How does this work with hidden messages and messages written backwards? Do we look like FUKKIN IDIOTS playing silly games? When we direct a journalist here, what does it look like?

Think of it as an IQ test for journalists. Most would fail anyway.

I reinstalled my video card upside down as instructed, but it didn't seem to work. :((

Your instruction manual must be faulty :!:

Only useful if you intend to host Arab speakers in their native language or Hebrews that work the same strange "wrong way". Don't even think of Chinese, iirc they even start at the end of a book, and I cannot think of starting to read the end of a thread first ...

Wow, it's great to see the grumps grumping at each other. :lol:

Highlands, WTF did you do in the post two posts up from this one? You messed up my beautiful forum! :-({|=

Sterngard Friegen · **Posted:** Mon Oct 11, 2010 9:58 am

It's all so complexificational. :-k

Highlands - I see you have found the hidden invisible icon that moves your Avatar to the end of the message.
Way to go!

PS: Don't tell Foggy where it is...

Falsehoods unchallenged only fester and grow.
