Whenever I am in someone's office, I can tell at a glance what they have in front of them on their desk. It has served me well a few times.
Word for the wise: be aware that some people can do that.

When I was in high school I could write backwards. My best friend and I used to write notes to each that way. I don't think I could do it anymore.

I believe Da Vinci did that to keep some of his notes a secret, unless I misunderstood you. You mean mirror like, right?

Patrick wrote:I know the Greek, Arabic and Hebrew alphabets. I learned ancient Greek at school for 4 years. I know about fifty words in Arabic that I can pick out of a text when I see them ( I had a project of becoming fluent in Arabic a few years back but then I moved to a region where it was no longer useful and I had other things on my plate)

In France at the turn of the 20th century we had a man called the petomane and people would pay good money to hear him fart on stage.

Easily.
