If no one has gotten it later in the day I might give a hint. It isn't complicated, though.

Hint: all the words are spelled backwards. Think dyslexic. It took me forever to read it. Maybe if I put a mirror up to it I could read it fine.

No wonder you are tired. It must have taken a long time to write.

Duh! I know its backwards - it doesn't take a [brain scientist] to figure that out. :)

I just don't know if I want to work that hard.

...but my lips hurt real bad!

I am enjoying random comments here while I avoid trying to read what was posted.

When I still had a synth, I thought it would be fun to be in a band called "Allison's Wonderland". A nice play on words for a sound that would have been distinctive female fronted vocals nearly overwhelmed by trance-hop electronica. But Portishead already did that. Nice post. Did it take long?

Well, it was short so I didn't spend too much time on it. more than two short paragraphs would have been a significant time commitment.

At first I thought it was one of those exaples that show we can read things that are horribly mispelled if the first and last letters are in the right position based on are assumptions about the message. When this turned out to not be the case, the next 15 seconds were really troubling.

I was bothered by the fact that after the first paragraph, I was able to read it without counciously translating the text.

I haven't really tried it in a while, but I can put a pen in both hands and start writing - left and will be a mirror image of the right hand. It seems to come natural for my left and to write backwards.

Is there a write way to flyfish, when you are trying to right pickles only to fine that ewe are rite in seaying it beecoz peephole can understand.

it defies lodgical protocol, but it haz logic.
