The Parable of the Talents

[Pointedstick]

I'm sure this is fascinating, but reading backwards text is not among my talents.

That whole essay is pretty enthralling.  I didn't intend to really read it, but I couldn't stop.  Highly recommended.  Thanks, Tenn.

In all seriousness, are you not seeing the backwards text? Or did you copy-and-paste into a text document to read it or something? Or are you just really good at reading backwards text?

[Xan]

Actually that was the reason I clicked on the article: to see what you were talking about.  I didn't see any backwards text.

Edit:  It may be because I have NoScript block scripts hosted at third-party domains by default.

I see the backwards text.  Not a fan.

It's kind of weird that the Comments section doesn't seem to mention the BoutrosBoutros Ghali text, or whatever it's called.
I pasted a paragraph into a text file, but it repeated over and over.
I think I'll pass. : - )
Tenn's excerpt, however, does look interesting.

This morning The Parable of the Talents appears as regular text for me at home.  No boustrophedon (though I like dualstow's "boutros-boutros-whatever" term.  It's always fun referencing long-ago UN Secretary Generals ).

It appears the fog has lifted ... or the pond scum sank.
