Title: Strange text on the Lunar Apocalypse poster
Post by: hexenmax on 30 July 2014, 21:14:38
I'm not sure if anybody noticed, but there is a small text on that Lunar Apocalypse poster in E3L6. I could understand part of the text: It begins with "all work and no play makes duke a dull boy" and it ends with "sea shells by the sea shore.", but i can't understand what's in between... :(

If anyone with a better eye than mine could help, i would be very thankful...

P.S: Apologies for my poor English in any case...

I'm surprised you even managed to make out the first and last lines.

I was about to say it looks nothing like that, then I realized you meant they literally took the top line and flipped it about the y axis so that the letters are backwards as well. Clearly they didn't expect anyone to be able to read any of that.

didn't even think about it. i suppose i could have wrote:

and let whoever looks at it figure it out
