Tim Jul 18, 2001	The answer to the riddle is false. The word `NOW` is not the same upside down
comet16 Apr 21, 2002	NOW would be MON
angie Jun 05, 2002	he's right
elsae Feb 02, 2003	They don't... =\
od-1 Jun 03, 2003	and SWIMS would be SMIWS... this is one that got past the editors!!
od-1 Jun 03, 2003	the teaser said UPSIDE DOWN not backwards, so NOW would be NOM
bluetwo Jul 06, 2004	NOW should be MOW.
calmsavior Aug 06, 2006	these are ambigrams
lessthanjake789 Sep 14, 2006	NOW NO SWIMS ON MON (meaning no one can swim on monday, as of this time) is the longest ambigramical sentence, that makes sense.
