... Palindromes ...

... Recommend this page to a friend.

A palindrome is a word, phrase, number or other sequence of units that can be read the same way in either direction (the adjustment of punctuation and spaces between words is generally permitted). Composing literature in palindromes is an example of constrained writing. The word "palindrome" was coined from Greek roots palin (πάλιν; "back") and dromos (δρóμος; "way, direction") by English writer Ben Jonson in the 1600s ... for more information, you too can visit Wikipedia. I mean, you don't really think I know Greek, I hope. Here are a few I collected, and being a bit obsessive for neatness, I arranged them in some shape for you.
Dogma: I am G-d
Do geese see G-d
Never odd or even
Madam, I'm Adam
Too bad I hid a boot
Rats live on no evil star
No trace; not one carton
Was it Eliot's toilet I saw
Go deliver a dare, vile dog
Murder for a jar of red rum
May a moody baby doom a yam
Campus Motto: Bottoms up, Mac
Satan, oscillate my metallic sonatas
A Toyota, race fast, safe car, a Toyota
Straw? No, too stupid a fad; I put soot on warts
Are we not drawn onward, we few, drawn onward to new era
Doc Note: I dissent. A fast never prevents a fatness; I diet on cod
No, it never propagates if I set a gap or prevention
Anne, I vote more cars race Rome to Vienna
Sums are not set as a test on Erasmus
Kay, a red nude, peeped under a yak
Go hang a salami; I'm a lasagna hog
Some men interpret nine memos
Madam, in Eden I'm Adam
Oozy rat in a sanitary zoo
Ah, Satan sees Natasha
Lisa Bonet ate no basil
G-d saw I was dog
Dennis sinned

The following is not quite legitimate:
I suppose one can do this with any sentence.

Doctor Reubenstein was shocked and dismayed when he answered the ringing telephone, only to hear a strange, metallic, alien voice say, "Yasec iovn eilacilla temeg Nartsa raehoty lnoenoh pelet gnig, nirehtde rewsnaehn ehw. Deya msid dnadek cohssaw nietsne buerro, tcod"



Ever wonder what people who think about palindromes are like?
You tired? All right, don't nod ... "don't nod"? Hey, is that a palindrome?
