OF COURSE you want to go to
there, too
, right?

Then just cLiCkY-cLiCkY
ONE WORD:

there!

Yes, transport yourself to a land far, far away,
where they also answer the burning question,

"How does this tool flip
text up side down and backward?
"


The answer--WAIT. Are you worried? *switches to SparkleFarkled zoom lens, and closely inspects* Maybe just a little bittle smitch? Yeah, there, at the edges? No

frets,
my pal, I promise you.
Your frame is not about to be least-bit

jarred

at all.

What I mean is, if you're non-savy keyboarder such as myself, you needn't be afraid. The explanation you're about to read didn't mumbo my

"Good night, Mrs. Calabash, wherever you are."
God, how I loved Jimmy Durante! How 'bout you? (FYIing the above snap: Durante starred on Broadway in the 1934 Billy Rose stage musical Jumbo, in which a police officer stopped him while leading a live elephant and asked him, "What are you doing with that elephant?" Durante's reply, "What elephant?", was a regular show-stopper.)

all that much. Onward, then? Onward it is.--> (I bet now you have good-anticipatey goosebumples on your goosegumples! Then, let her rip already, eh?!) "The JavaScript program converts English letters to unicode characters and symbols that look inverted, to make it look like you've created upside down text on the computer. Most of them come from the character sets "Latin Extended" and "International Phonetic Alphabet". Unfortunately there are no upside down numbers and not enough upside down capital letters, so this tool supports lowercase letters only. This page uses the font "Arial Unicode MS" to display the flipped text. You can learn the letter mapping behind this upside down text generator by viewing this page's html source code. Enjoy this trick on internet forum, blog, IM, & chat!"

Salamba Sirsasana-ly yours,

Rest in peace, my Mollo, ZuZu, Jumbo, Mr. Durante, and Mrs. Calabash, wherever you are.
