Well, it is pretty funny: it has to be the first time I've seen
_lowercase_ used to emphasize phrases.

I guess we could use their post and raise it's Python content by turning
it into a Python example.  Hmmm... let's give it a shot.

###
import string
import sys

def reverseCaser(word):
  if string.upper(word) == word:
    return string.lower(word)
  if string.lower(word) == word:
    return string.upper(word)
  return word

if __name__ == '__main__':
  words = string.split(sys.stdin, ' ')
  words = map(reverseCaser, words)
  print words

Let's try it on this sample (because anything longer will cause my head to
explode.)

Well, I admit, it's not much of an improvement.  But even spams must yield
to Python.  *grin*
