What is your favorite palindrome? Why?
My personal favorite is: "Massive Levi's, Sam!"

Note: Palindromes (a phrase you can say backwords and forwards) are not for people with aibohphobia.

The Wikipedia article on Palindromes is one of my favorites.

And of course there's the TMBG song, I Palindrome I, which has this great (palindromatic by word, not by letter) verse:

Quote:
"Son, I am able," she said, "though you scare me."
"Watch," said I. "Beloved," I said, "watch me scare you."
"Though," said she, "Able am I, Son."


And I always watch for palindromes on my odometer, but usually miss them, which makes me sad.

Do you think "Lim" is a name? If it was, I'd change my middle name to lim and then my name would be a palendrome. Maybe I should change it anyway. My new location makes a palendrome.

I can just imagine some conversation:

DOCTOR: I'm afraid you're suffering from a fear of palindromes - aibohphobia.

PATIENT: Aibohphobia!?! That's a palindrome! AAARRRRRGGGGLLLBLBLLBLBL!!!

OR


DOCTOR: I'm afraid you're suffering from a fear of long words - hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia.

PATIENT: Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia!?! That's a long word! AAARRRRRGGGGLLLBLBLLBLBL!!!
