larry jr. Posted August 21, 2003 Report Share Posted August 21, 2003 I have the same complaint about the word, onomatopoeia (a word that imitates the sound it represents, like buzz). I didn't have any favourite palindromes, so I did a google search and found this. A 15,139 word palindrome: http://www.norvig.com/palindrome.html But that's kind of cheating, and it's not really a sentence, so I found this one that was near chuckle-inducing: "Stressed? No tips? Spit on desserts!" by filmmaker Thomas Comerford (for May 21, National Waitstaff Day) There is also apparently some kind of palindrome magazine out there for true palindrome geeks.

Phred Posted August 21, 2003 Report Share Posted August 21, 2003 My favourite single word palindrome is: Racecar. I find that some people have to see it in print to believe that it is a palindrome. I guess it is the hard C soft C thing. Another fav: a man, a plan, a canal; panama Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arcane Posted August 21, 2003 Report Share Posted August 21, 2003 Yesterday I couldn't remember how to spell "onomatopoeia." As it turns out, it's spelled just like it sounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backbacon Posted August 21, 2003 Report Share Posted August 21, 2003 200220022002 8.02 pm on February 20th, 2002. or to be more precise - 20:02, 20/02, 2002. The last occasion that time read in such a symmetrical pattern was long before the days of the digital watch and the 24-hour clock - at 10.01am on January 10,1001. Never to happen again. Yep, the math people were going crazy that day last year. I remember it well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Velvet Posted August 21, 2003 Report Share Posted August 21, 2003 Simpsons, I think it was comic store guy who said the palindrome and Lisa pointed it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about 11:11, 11/11, 1111? or 12:21, 12/21 (switch date around), 1221. Still before digital watches though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Velvet Posted August 22, 2003 Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 Palindrome - word or sentance spelt the same backwards as forwards, like racecar. My fave: Satan, oscillate my metallic sonatas. And why is the word for a palindrome not one? Should be called a droword or som'n. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
