Title: made by a firm named 'Prodebady' in Tsechie?

Prodebady?

Says the owner, but that doesn't pop up on my radar/google.
Of course it's probably misremembered or mis-spelled (or worse) but maybe somebody can tip me off by recognising what the key word is actually supposed to be?

It doesn't have pRod at the beginning either. The r got shifted.

Naturally, I just read it as Podebrady in the first place - I couldn't work out what was wrong with it for ages. :-[

Tell me bout it! I just spent 10 minutes looking at a 'sculpture of a seal' and wondering what was 'wrong' ... before I realised the owner had photographed it standing on its nose! LOL!

The story goes that Kandinsky didn't recognise his own painting of a horse when it was the wrong way around, and that was what inspired him into abstraction.
You are in good company. :)

I was just doing what anybody does when faced with a word spelled wrongly, read it as being correct.  ::)
