Ambigrams

The other day i was waiting at a butcher to buy some food and was just glancing when i noitced that when you look at the word CHICKEN it almost looks the same way when its turned over except for the letter N.

I was wondering if there was any other words that are like that and well when i searched there is loads of information about these words.
