Palindromes

Palindromes are the same forwards and backwards. Famous examples include:

  • Madam, I'm Adam!
    Adam introducing himself
  • Adam, I'm Ada!
    Eve's identity crisis in reply
  • Able was I ere I saw Elba
    Napoleon's lament on his (first) imprisonment
  • A man. A plan. A canal. Panama!
    My favourite!
  • Lo! October tenses.net re. 'bot - cool!
    Exclamation on discovering future cybernetics article on this site (sorry!)
There are a few other palindrome web site names:
  • grot.org
    minimalist!
  • grow.org
    food sector trading site - excitement!
  • grog.org
    a French site about the flu virus (I think)
  • mock.com
    my prize for most interesting site that happens to be a palindrome has to go to Jeff Mock's "boring cam" - well done Jeff! ...and the prize? "nowt won!"
