Title: Tweak
Post by: jaydub on January 05, 2010, 12:36:40 am: I changed my profile setting to display the most recent posts first, with the thought that it might save scrolling. The result is...unsettling. I'm used to TOUAMB operating a certain way, I suppose.

there was that experiment where they had students wear these glasses 24x7 that made everything upside down and after a while their brains would automatically right everything to where when they took the glasses off, then everything looked like it was upside down. so don't worry. your brain will adapt.

the brain however cannot adapt to making everything photonegative. Some things are hardwired.

I was skipped through grades when I was four years old because I was reading the testing woman's handwritten notes back to her from across the desk. (Yeah, I'm that kind of geek.) However, I've found as I've gotten older, my ability to read upside-down has lessened considerably. I still play Scrabble upside-down, though; it's easier than rotating the board each turn.

Post by: Toaster on January 05, 2010, 07:28:55 pm: I learned to write backward like Leonardo daVinci, but I was disappointed to find that my writing could be read rightways from the back of the page. I asked my history teacher what the deal was, and he said that Leonardo used vellum and not paper like ours. Vellum being much thicker, see.

Post by: lprkn on January 06, 2010, 02:43:24 am: According to your local historical revisionist, he probably drew way more rude bozacks than he ever drew titties.
