You are my hero.

did you know that palin (πάλιν) means "backwards" in ancient greek?

i'm just sayin...

[kinkyturtle]

I thought it meant "again".

Hence "palindrome" either way.

[kai_ta_loipa]

well, when you do something again, you have to go back to the beginning, don't you?

palindrome is literally a "running backwards" or a "reverse course".

How very Sjobergian of you! (And I mean that as a complement.)

I'd enjoy it except that I've tried not to pay too much attention to the Palin fracas and have no idea what the names of her children are. (My brain hardly has enough space to consistently recall names of friends and coworkers!)
