?yllaeR 'Alyssa Talks Backwards' seoG lariV

"Talent, odd it is," Yoda might say.

In one of those quirks we've come to like about the Web, a video called " Alyssa talking backwards. Poteau Oklahoma" that was posted last July is just now beginning to get some viral-style attention. She seems to be quite good at quickly saying — backwards — any word she's given.

It's drawing some doubters, including someone who took "Alyssa talking backwards" and posted a version that runs ... backward.
