That's a pity - I was having visions of civilisations running backwards like
a video running backwards. You know, anti-people leaping up out of a pool
through a backwards splash onto a diving board; trains reversing back over
smashed (long) vintage cars, which reassemble as the train removes itself
from them; Ninjas jumping normally off rooves down on to the ground.
