Can you read upside-down writing?

Overblood

I can read upside down writing as good as I can with right side up.

Is this a special gift I have? Am I like those Ass-burger kids you see on BBC1 who can multipy hundred-digit numbers in their head? Should I give BBC a call?

Or can any pleb do this.

I can do it too. The trick is to turn the page 180degrees and then read.

Or if its on a computer screen, press Ctrl+Alt+Up and then read.

Everyone can do it. You just need a bit of muscle to turn your computer monitor upside down.

I don't have this problem because I own a laptop. Good old neck craning style.

Whosbetter?

No prob when I've got my upsidedown glasses on.

I can do it too. Just takes a little longer than normal writing.

Phasers, is that some kind of code in your sig to subliminally tell us you're not a man?

There was a meeting recently about it. The entire world's population came and we agreed that everyone can do it.

We also agreed that you're lame, that's why we didn't invite you

I dont have a problem with it. Im also a freak with a word search, so it doesnt really matter how its written.

Sir, I'm confused.
Did you call this meeting and decide he was lame, then retrospectively never invited him to the aforementioned global gathering?(this involves time travel) Or was it on the agenda for the meeting and a unanimous vote took place, validating the reason not to invite in the first place???

Someone needs to brush up on their double negatives.

A lot of people can do this. And read jumbled words, words written backwards etc...

Apparently we can distinguish words no matter what way the letters are arranged, once they're all there, and the first and last letters remain in place. There was a viral SMS I got years ago. It read a little bit like this:

Sistncetis form Orofxd and Cbrgmaide hvae doecvsired taht haumn binges can raed jlmubed wrdos wtih esae pviderod all the ltrtees are icdluend and the fsrit and lsat leetrts are in palce. Anmzaig, huh?

I can't, at all.

GhostInTheRuins

Forget about reading upside down writing, I remember having a maths teacher that could write upside down almost as well as she could right way up, fast too.

I can read upside down but the blood really go's to the head after about 5 minutes, the text then becomes very blurry and after about 8 minutes I faint and fall over.

Can I stand on my head, or would that be cheating?
