Fun with words
What is a "Palindrome"?
Actually, very simple to explain.:
A "Palindrome" is a word or a sentence which you can read front to back, but also back to front.
The simplest palindrome would be: "Otto" or "Anna"
There are, of course, much more complicated Palindromes. For instance:
A space explorer may return to earth and report:
"RATS LIVE ON NO EVIL STAR"
or; somebody who noticed a movement out of the corner of one eye may guess:
"WAS IT A CAR OR A CAT I SAW"
A music fan tells his friend how exciting the pop artist Madonna is.
The reply from the not so enthusiastic friend might be this palindrome:
"YAWN... MADONNA FAN ? NO DAMN WAY:
There are of course many more and if you know some, write to me, or place them into the "comment box".
