I love palindromes.

In case you didn't know, a Palindrome is a word or sentence which reads the same from back to front.

Not surprisingly, it can be quite difficult to construct a long sentence which is a palindrome AND makes good sense.

Here is a list of palindromes.
Excuse the ones which are a bit mad.
