In 1983, David Oates dropped his walkman into the toilet. If you're under 40 years old, a walkman was a portable cassette player. If you're under 30, a cassette was how we listened to music in the stone age. Anyway, after being dropped, David's tape player would only play tapes in reverse. At first, he found this entertaining.

Soon, David discovered messages hidden in human speech that were NOT intentional. Messages that were put there by the speaker's subconscious.
