Say a word or a short phrase to Alyssa. She’ll promptly say it backwards. How does she do it? There’s no preparation or complex thinking involved. She just reverses the words like she’s a machine designed for that purpose. Which is probably what’s actually happening.

There. Mystery solved.

Shorewood High School made a lip dub video to Hall and Oates’ song “You Make My Dreams Come True”. That’s quite an accomplishment in itself, and might remind you of the “I Gotta Feeling” video (seen here) …but wait, there’s something not quite right about this video. It won’t take you long to figure it out! -via reddit

According to Wikipedia a Palindrome is: a word, phrase, number or other sequence of units that can be read the same way in either direction…

Or, in this case a palindromic video where Dan and naD filmed themselves speaking normally and backwards and doing activities such as eating cake or having a drink forwards and backwards. Totally bizarre and trippy! ;)

Green Tie in Front of a Green Screen
TMJ4 weatherman Scott Steele found out why you're not supposed to wear a green tie when giving the weather in front of a green screen:

The news director told me to get a power tie, I just didn't realize how powerful it is ...

It certainly made the weather report more interesting, perhaps all weathermen should wear green ties!
