Pithy Little Palindromes
Palindromes are words or phrases that read the same in both directions. Eye, for example, is a classic one-word palindrome.
I didn't come up with the following list of fun palindromes all on my own. I'm not that clever! Rather, it's an amalgam of begged and borrowed parts. If you have any of your own to add, please, let's hear them.
No trace; not one carton
Was it Eliot's toilet I saw?
Murder for a jar of red rum
Oozy rat in a sanitary zoo
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.
Don't nod
Never odd or even
Too bad – I hid a boot
May a moody baby doom a yam?
Go hang a salami; I'm a lasagna hog!
Lisa Bonet ate no basil
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
Campus Motto: Bottoms up, Mac
Some men interpret nine memos
Go deliver a dare, vile dog!
Madam, in Eden I'm Adam
Ah, Satan sees Natasha
Devil lived
Rats live on no evil star
Do geese see God?
Dogma: I am God
Satan, oscillate my metallic sonatas!
God saw I was dog
Dennis sinned

There's the classic: Able I was ere I saw Elba.
Some of my favorites: Red rum, sir, is murder.
Oozy rat in a sanitary zoo.
I prefer Pi
Flesh! Saw Mom wash self!
Here is arguably the world's longest palindrome !
Who ever made that one up definitely had too much time on his hands. Who ever posted it also had plenty of spare time.
Holy moly! That long one is just amazing. I'm not sure I could do that even if I had all day, every day to think about it.
I'm noticing a disturbing trend among palindromes involving rats and vomit. LOL.
That long one - I tried to find the middle of it - where it turned around - but gave up! I asked myself do I really need to wast that much time - time that could be better spent doing nothing?
This is true. Time when we can get away with doing nothing is much better spent. LOL.
Hers another for you:
If I had a hi-fi.
lol, thats all I got :P
That's good enough, Blue.:-)
That's a new one on me, Blue. And a good one.
