Palindrome Day

Gentle Readers, I simply could not contain myself and had to post twice today.

Do you know what today is?

Well, the title of the post is a clue. Today is a palindrome day. It is a day when the date reads the same backwards and forwards, as in 01/11/10. It is also, of course, a binary day; only ones and zeros.

Ok, you spoilsports out there, I know that January 2 of this year was a better palindrome day, as it included the millenium (01/02/2010). But still. Let's not be nitpicky, unless, of course, we have nits.

We must get our jollies where we can, must we not?

The thing is, I love palindromes; you know, words or phrases or sentences that read the same backwards and forwards. They are so...symmetrical. And filled with obtuse wisdom.

I found a list of palindromes on the internets here.

A couple of my favorites:

Amy, must I jujitsu my ma?

Doc, note; I dissent. A fast never prevents a fatness. I diet on cod.

May a moody baby doom a yam?

Niagara, O roar again!

Red rum, sir, is murder

Slap a ham on Omaha, pals.

And the particularly sinister and inscrutable:

Some men interpret nine memos

And the ever popular: A man, a plan, a canal, Panama!
