	ok.  let's try to finish this discussion and get back to 'humor'
(I do remember what that is, I think).  The real reason you perceive
yourself 'backwards' in the mirror is because little green men pick up your
image and turn it around really fast just to confuse you.  It is quite
similar to the refrigerator light effect.  

	and if you don't believe that, there is also another common theory that
has to do with the fact that most of us have two eyes.  If our eyes were placed
one above the other, then the little green men would make us look upside down 
in the mirror, not backwards.  REALLY.

		A mind is a terrible thing to waste on,
