Two loosely related things...

[conuly]

1. If you're not reading gpf_comic_jk, you should remedy the situation immediately.
2. A while back, I set myself to reading all the back comics. One storyline had them going through time. At one point, one of the characters suffers... a bit of a mishap.

Now, what's really interesting is that despite the fact that I consciously knew he was talking backwards, I couldn't read the words backwards. I couldn't even see them backwards unless I took the effort. Every time I saw his text, I read it forwards, then had to stop and say "no, wait, he's talking backwards" and translate this like it.

I have one question about this. Why?

Oh, and read gpf_comic_jk.

Speaking of talking backwards -

Dream a but is life,
Merrily, merrily, merrily;
Merrily stream the down gently,
Boat your row, row, row.

(Sung to the tune of, guess what.)

I learned it like that once, from my then-girlfriend, for fun.
