Jan 31 – Backwards Day

31 Jan

For this day I could have done a lot of things. But wearing my clothes backwards wasn’t enough to I decided to go back in time to 1776.

If you want to celebrate, you can do a tribute to the king of walking backwards, Michael Jackson, on the eternalmoonwalk.comScreen Shot 2013-01-31 at 4.09.47 PM

Or maybe you try and play a record backwards to discover the hidden message. This is my favorite one. Pink Floyd poked fun of the whole phenomenon and ridiculous accusations that there were satanic messages in records by hiding a tongue-in-cheek version of their own on the song “Empty Spaces.” Start playing at :22 and listen carefully for “congratulations you have discovered the secret message”
