This is just using the right hand, transposing (for want of a better
word) the letters upside down and back-to-front. One of those
completely useless abilities, unless you want to pass notes to the
person sitting in front of you!

No. I've seen a bloke on TV htat had the halves of his brain seperated
draw two different symbols simultaneously using both hands, though.
