Happy Palindrome Day
https://twitter.com/Dreamweasel/stat...00147752026112

Good morning! It is my duty to inform you that today’s date is a palindrome regardless of whether you use the two-digit or the four-digit version of the year:

- 3/20/23
- 3/20/2023

And in honor of today, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUQD...alyankovicVEVO

I spent a lot of time in grad school composing musical palindromes, so I developed a particular fondness for palindromes of all sorts. I think my favorite is still

"Eros?!?! Sidney, my end is sore!"

Isn't it kind of lame that the word palindrome backwards is emordnilap?

Oh man, I'm a sucker for palindromes, how did I not see this? When I ring folks up at the shop and their total is something like 73.37 or, much better yet, 9422.49, I actually get a little giddy!

Thanks for the reminder.

Lest we forget the original one, if the myth is correct.

In the Garden of Eden, a guy walks up to a naked woman and announces, "Madam, I'm Adam."

I have a brother named Ami and a sister named Temima. It didn't take my word-nerd mom to figure out

Ami met Temima.

An almost, but not quite, palindrome, but one of my favorites:

Lewd did I live, evil I did dwel.
