My brain, while unattended, often casts idly about for signs to read backwards. It's actually tedious and unrewarding most of the time and I try not to notice. However, every now and then it reports back with items of interest. In Washington, D.C. there is actually a street named 'Tunlaw'. This was fun because it was intentionally spelled backwards in the first place. More recently there was the case of a shoe repair store in Roswell named 'Burtons'. So that was fun too.
