Good ones, scrltbegonya!

Good one, Kurt!

Scrltbegonya, if you're a lexophile, you must be into palindromic sentences. Most lexophiles are. You must know this, but for those who don't, palindromes are sequences of symbols such as, "Able was I ere I saw Elba" that, symbol by symbol, read the same forward and backward (in the case of sentences, punctuation/capitalization/spaces are typically ignored). My favorite book ever, G?del, Escher, Bach: an Eternal Golden Braid, has entire chapter that is a palindrome. Apparently Bach was obsessed with numerology and palindromes and inserted palindromic sequences of notes in his music, such as in his "Crab Canon."
