You can read it upside down and down side up! It’s called an ambigram I think! There is a whole book for two fo these things out there in the world somewhere…I read it and some of them are quite creative…..their is a whole book based on these (angels and demons I think) by the same author as “the Davinci Code”. How was that for informative!!!LOL
