0. What is a palindrome
(S625c)
A palindrome is a sentence that
can be read backwards
and it's meaning still remains.
It is commonly accepted
that the punctuation and spacing
may change while
reversing the words, though.
For example: "Rats live on no
evil star."
.rats live on no evil staR
1.1 The most widely known
palindromes
The most frequently posted English
palindromes (over 20%
of them):
A man, a plan, a canal, Panama!
(and variants)
Able was I ere I saw Elba.
Doc note, I dissent. A fast
never prevents a fatness.
I diet on cod.
Straw, no too stupid a fad,
I put soot on warts.
Rats live on no evil star.
He goddam mad dog, eh?
Madam, I'm Adam.
Name no one man.
T. Eliot, top bard, notes putrid
tang emanating, is sad:
"I'd assign it a name: gant
dirt upset on drab pot toilet
And the same for the Finnish ones:
Saippuakauppias

1.2 Short English palindromes

1.4 A man, a plan...
Here is some information about
a few palindromes related to
the one you mention. As
far as I know, the first person to
put a cat in the canal was Jim
Saxe, in his 9 October 1983
plan file.
A man, a plan, a
cat, a canal; Panama?
Guy Jacobson added several items
later that year.
A man, a plan,
a cat, a ham, a yak, a yam, a hat, a canal--
Panama! Guy's
palindrome appears on page 127 of COMMON LISP,
THE LANGUAGE (page
170 of the 2nd edition). The 2nd edition
of COMMON LISP,
THE LANGUAGE also contains the remarkable:
A man, a plan, a
canoe, pasta, heros, rajahs, a coloratura,
maps, snipe, percale,
macaroni, a gag, a banana bag, a tan,
a tag, a banana
bag again (or a camel), a crepe, pins, Spam,
a rut, a Rolo,
cash, a jar, sore hats, a peon, a canal--Panama!
which is presumably the work
of Guy Steele, the book's author.
I dredged up the problem in
1984, and discovered the following
540-word version with the help
of a computer program that I wrote.
A man, a plan, a
caret, a ban, a myriad, a sum, a lac, a liar,

--Dan Hoey, 'discovered' in 1984.
This was done with the Unix spelling
dictionary and a fairly
simple-minded program.
With a better word list and a smarter
program I'm sure the palindrome
could be ten times as long.
I am somewhat concerned that
people have been redistributing
these palindromes without attribution.
Please don't do so.
And if you get a copy of my
palindrome without my name on it,
I would appreciate it if you
mention my objection to whoever
sends it to you. Dan Hoey,

Yes, Finnish is
*the* palindrome language. Some guys have
even written a
book of poetry, called "Retki dikter", all

Two boys were send to the shop
with the following lists:

2.2 Dutch
parterretrap (some kind
of stairway (trap is a stairway,
partere is lounge)
lepel

edelstaalplaatslede (a stainless
steel tray, part of an oven)

which is made out

Mooie zeden in Ede, zei Oom
(Nice customs in Ede, said Uncle)
Nelli plaatst op 'n parterre

which means that
some broad called Nelli is messing around
with pills on above
meant stairway (or something like that).
For those who want to read more:
the book "Opperlandse Taal- en

Battus contains lots of palindromes in Dutch
(plus a load of
other acrobatical linguistics).

3. Credits
Unfortunately, it's impossible
to give credit separately all
the numerous submissions in
rec.humor, eunet.jokes, and
