Old idea. It was featured in the Spirou comic books many, many years
ago when I was a child. Since Zafir's people where brainwashed to only
speak words backwords they naturally displayed Coca Cola's logo
mirror-imaged. Rifaz... Zafir I mean... was teared up from this
anticlimax experience.

One has allready done the experiment to drop lasers onto the
moon. NASA had a laser shut through a telescope and the spot was 6 km wide.

No clouded senses prohibited me from see it.

The moon was back full and with restored brigthness this evening.

Cheers,
