i can't be the only person who has noticed an awful lot of discussions on this subject in here. some from people who are very keen on them and some from those that dislike them - it is interesting to see so many people with strong opinions on word play. so do you know any good palindromes - there are some famous phrases (madam i'm adam) and lots of single words (hannah) - do you remember or have you come up with any yourself?

There are lots of famous small ones like radar, but the famous longer one I know is
Was it a car or a cat I saw?
I don't like or dislike them but they are interesting.

Now anagrams is another matter all together. I love anagrams.
On a similar line, I love to name people according to their car registrations. Do you do that over there?
We had a friend (a pastor) whose rego was OQD... (I forget the number). We named him One Queer Devil. He changed his plates, making the excuse they were stone chipped.
My old car was BMS - Becoming More Senile.
My new car is IJU - I'm Just Useless.

Because I'm a southern redneck NASCAR fan, one of my favorites is RACECAR. 
I can also think of "noon" and "mom"...and the name "Elle". When I was in high school our arch rival was a school named after a town that is also a palindrome...Glenelg.

bit dull. there was only one secondary school where i was brought up but my town was at war with the village 10 miles down the road. now and again the lads from mine would decide to have a fight, walk it and then have their brawl with the other set. utterly ridiculous. incidently most people leave this area as soon as they can, not sure why...

How about, 'Dog as a devil deified lived as a god?' One more question: why is it in politics? Is it because of the strong opinions on them? Or are you just being a contrary bunny? Oh, that's three questions, isn't it? - no four! Any advance on four? That's five now - I'm off!

I threw a cherry pip and it hit a nun in the eye, what a horrid deed, so sorry madam, I said, for what I did.
