[language] Can’t sleep, palindromes will eat me
by
Light sleeper tonight. Not medical issues, more like one of my once-every-week-or-ten-days not quite sleeping heavily. For some reason, my mind has been racing on palindromes. I don’t mean good ones, I mean more along the lines of “Bacon’s town wots no cab.”
Here’s a few others Fred coughed up in the dark:
“O, had I but stub Idaho.”
“Sax Etta at Texas.”
“Some gals slag emos.”
“May drawer reward yam.”
“Emit not on time.”
Each of those has some meaning, if you torture them enough. I also got to thinking about palindromic phrases, such as:
“and DNA”
“race car”
“sward draws”
What does this mean? Heck if I know. I think my story processor blew a vacuum tube or something.
What’s your favorite palindrome?

I used to run the Palindrome BBS, so named because the phone number was palindromic. I started collecting them around that time (1982-ish).

I did, did I?
A British post-hardcore band called Reuben had a début album titled Racecar is Racecar Backwards. I’m sure that having attained that crucial nugget of fact will enable you to sleep more soundly in future … 😉
