    I wonder if there are any palindromes in kanji.

    I don't know about kanji, but I've also always liked "Egad, a base tone denotes a bad age."

    That's a killer.

    A Google search reveals that the longest palindrome had 17,259 words.

    Although it wasn't technically a palindrome, just a palindromic sentence.

    Whoops - that'll teach me to read what I wrote - backwards as well as forwards.

    I seem to remember something about "deliver no evil avid diva..... avid diva live on reviled'.

    I note that gullible contains the words glib, bull, bilge and most appropriately libel.

    Palindromes are actually quite easy to create, such as this one en osi htsa hcu seta ercoty saee tiuqy llautc aera semo dnilap.

    reminds me of Dan Brown's Demon and Angels.
    Illuminati, Earth, Water, Air, Fire, all written symmetrically. Can you call that palindrome?

    calling it something doesn't make it correct or accurate; unless you get it to stick with enough people and give it about 100 years to marinate.

    Unless you're a dictionary.

    Abraham Lincoln once asked a man, "If you call a dog's tail a leg, how many legs does the dog have?"
    The man answered "Five."
    Abe replied, "No, you insipid stupid moron, calling it a leg doesn't make it a leg."

    I like that quote, but I find it contradictory in its own sense...But I can't seem to put it into words, damn, that's frustrating!

    Many people start an argument with the word "Suppose.." and then build on the basis of it. If they can then find a connection with reality they believes it shows the proof of their supposition.

    I like Abe's quote, FT. I hadn't heard that before - so thank you. In computer parlance I guess that could be called 'strong typing'.

    Yeah -- it is a good quote. I was a little put off being called "insipid", but i got over it.

    I must admit, you strike me as an extremely sipid person

    You can get Golden Cola in my local ethnic supermarket. And in Home Depot I can buy a large soda bottle of Worm Poop ©.

    You're all wrong. The worm poop just bypasses the middle man.
