 		If you look at the source also, the font is greek, although it looks to be just transliterated verses translated.

 		Ok, I guess I'll repost this.

They have this in their FAQ:
Quote:
If the effects of the Cascade Vortex extended to the Internet, what would it look like?

And then it linked to that upside-down-mirror page.

Of course, now the whole site looks like that, except that page.

 		What's this thread doing all the way down here? Yeah, this is wierd. So it's pretty straitforward obvious. The affects did extend to the internet.

Is this a puzzle of some sort? Only certain pages affected. Just spec.

"Home" "FAQ" "Visit" - affected
"History" "Links" "Contact" - unaffected

 		Is there a reason for the larger spaces between certain words on the vortex homepage when you view source. I'm not sure if it was like this before or if its been discussed.

I got the same thing, Niobexrev (though my affected/unaffected pages were a bit different). I have determined it to be because some pages are listed as DOCTYPE=XHTML and some are DOCTYPE=HTML. Thus, different browsers handle the pages differently.

 		strange... all of the flipped pages use http://www.cascadevortex.com/site.css as the style sheet, but yet... so does http://www.cascadevortex.com/flaq.html, however it isn't flipped...

When I looked ALL the pages were flipped...but not just upside down.. Also horizontally (or is vertical? Anyway..it is mirrorred)
