Was it Bach or Beethoven (gosh, I think it was one of them) who wrote a piece that could be played the same either right side up or upside down?<br />I have a friend named Tacy Staron--she thought it funny as a child that backwards, her name spelled, "No Rats. Y? Cat." :)Faith E.

If you say a word to him, he'll tell you what the word is spelled backwards - no hesitation, no figuring it out, he just spits the answer right out.
