Plane reverse thrusters Part II

I flew to Sydney on the weekend. On the way back, I was sitting just in front of the wing. As we were landing, I checked out the engine on the Boeing 737 and lo and behold, the back part of the engine slid back just as the loud windy noise started. It looked just like this (about half way down the page, under the heading "b) Reverse Thrust Configuration".

So, this just goes to show, not all of the information on the internet is bullshit. Unless this post is also bullshit... hmmmm.
