How to type upside down letters and backwards text

How does this tool work? The program flips the regular English letters, by mapping them to multi-byte unicode characters, which make them look inverted. Most of them come from the character sets "Latin Extended" and "International Phonetic Alphabet". You can see the letter mapping by viewing this page's source code.

UPDATE: PETA Killed Over 97 Percent of the Animals in its Care in 2006
Please don't think that everyone in animal rescue supports PETA ... because we don't.  

2,981. That’s how many dogs, cats, puppies, kittens, and other "companion animals" died needlessly at PETA's hands in 2006. According to the group's own records, PETA employees killed more than 97 percent of the flesh-and-blood creatures in their care that year.

Compare that with the Norfolk (where PETA is based) Society for the Protection of Animals, which euthanized only 38 of the 1404 animals placed in their care that year. Even the Norfolk city pound managed to release or adopt out more than half the number of animals it euthanized.

While PETA collects millions in donations by pretending to advocate for the welfare of animals, the group has killed 17,400 pets since 1998. Some animals are killed at PETA headquarters and stored in a giant walk-in freezer.

Others are killed in roving death vans and tossed into dumpsters. In fact, less than three percent of the animals handed over to People for the "Ethical" Treatment of Animals actually survive.

Amy Sedaris is featured in a new short film for Microsoft Word 2007. Rabbit Rescue is part of a series of short films included in Microsoft’s Office 2007 online ad campaign. Amy worked on this with Paul Dinello (of Strangers With Candy). Look for a cameo appearance by her own rabbit, Dusty (the black & white mini-rex that's eating sprinkles and wearing a chef hat)!

10 Steps to Being a Better Wife

Before we try to change you, here are a few changes we'll try to make ourselves. Deal?

By Sharon O’Brien 

Some guys might not realize this, but when most women get married they usually imagine cozy evenings by a fire, sharing their hopes and dreams with the men they love. Our Prince Charmings, however, sometimes turn into The Grinches Who Stole Romance, lying on the couch with a beer in one hand and a remote in the other. You may have noticed our displeasure about this on occasion.

However, in the interest of your willingness to cater to our needs (see "10 Ways to Be a Better Husband"), here's a list for the women out there. Ladies, instead of trying to fix your flawed but lovable husband, why not start by looking in the mirror? These 10 steps will help you re-energize your marriage and renew your appreciation for the former Mr. Perfect.

10 Things You Don't Know About Women by Jennifer Love Hewitt
 

1.  PMS is not a lame excuse to be able to yell at you. It's a great excuse.

2. We really can pump our own gas. It's just that we've got this fantasy of you as a '30s-era full-service station attendant. You'd look so cute in the hat.

3. We're not complimented when you call your ex a slut. She dated you, too. So what are we?

4. We're smart enough to know that smell is always the dog.

5. Yes, we can dish it out.

6. No, we can't take it.

7. We want to raise children. We just don't want you to be one of them.

8. Women are meant to talk and men to listen. We don't want to be fixed; we want to be heard.

9. When we ask if you've had any work done, it's because we want to know what our kids will really look like.

10. When we ask you how we look, it's okay to lie; when we ask you how she looks, you better lie.
