Man, is it dark in here!!

I "heard" some words in the clip when I first listened to it, but definitely not what what was transcribed. If you listen to any speech backward you are going to "hear" things in it. The human mind wants to find patterns in everything, especially if it knows it is something that should make sense, like speech.

I saw an elephant's shape in a cloud, today! Does that mean anything? Is it a sign that the Republican Party is going to take over the sky, and as I saw it from the earth, the land, too?

Come on! Aren't we going a little hallucinogenic, here?

You beat me to the punch....I was just thinking the same thing.

The only reason why these kinda things work is because people are told before hand what to hear. Your brain gets tricked into thinking its a secret message, but its really a top-down effect occuring, where you are primed to hear something before hand.

Not only that, LuDaCris, but I don't think there's that many who give him much hope of having a lot of meaning in straight speech, much less playing his stuff backwards!

I'm sorry, that was mean. I shouldn't be mean like that.

much the reaction i expected.


oops.

Doesn't the human brain interpret reality in reverse...for example, the brain see in upside down, color are inverse...so I would not be surprise if the brain hear things in reverse...

I gave this a listen and could not hear an exact pattern of message, it is really reaching to come to the conclusion that there is a hidden message when played in reverse.If it was clear and concise then there might be something more sinister here, but like others have said its like playing a beatles album backwards and hearing the words "Paul is dead" instead of "i am the walrus"

But it was fun trying to hear the messages anyway, thanks for the story.

He has enough trouble doing that with forward speech. I swear if that man is not reading from a speech, he's totally lost.
