When I started to compile this week’s TT, I thought I had a cool idea. Now that I have completed it, the list looks lame. Oh well, I can’t have a winner every week. Below is a list of palindromes. A palindrome is a word, phrase, number or other sequence of units that has the property of reading the same in either direction. Source  

  • dog = God

  • desserts = stressed

  • saw = was devil = lived

  • snips = spins

  • buns = snub

  • doom = mood

  • flow = wolf

  • liar = rail

  • loop = pool

  • paws = swap

  • sway = yaws

  • pins = snip

    I love palindromes. At the risk of making it seem as though I agree your list is lame :) (sorry, not my intent), here’s the coolest collection of palindromes I’ve seen. It’s actually a Weird Al video: http://youtube.com/watch?v=Nej4xJe4Tdg

    Anything that gets people thinking about words is NOT lame.

    I think palindromes are cool. I was just looking at someone’s screen name and thinking, “Hey, that’s a palindrome.”

    Okay, it was a few hours ago. But you get my point. And yes, I did think Palindrome, not “that’s [this word] backwards!”
