Mirror Image Bible

Apparently, we have a new first for Bible translation. No, it is not translating it into a real language used by people. It is not even translation into an imaginary language like Klingon. It is something even less useful.
You may have read or heard of Bible being translated almost in all languages of the world. But Uttam Das, a 29-year-old, Arts graduate from Silapathar in Dhemaji district of Assam has written Bible in mirror image language.
Mirror writing involves writing in reverse. The text can be read in the inverted image in a mirror and other reflective surface.
With this people will now be able to read the Bible with mirror image language holding a mirror in their hands. He has made it as a gift for Pope Benedict XVI - a seven volume Bible (Old Testament) - it is special because of being written in mirror image language.
Not exactly practical. But certainly interesting. This is obviously someone with a love for scripture.
