It's probably the bit about the "baby roo" that confuses them.

Cheers,

Sure, if you like, but as the sexy Billy Joel sings, "Don't go changin'...".

I like to tell people that "racecar" is a palindrome. There are only three reactions:

1. "A what?"
2. A brief far-off look in the eyes, followed by a smile or "hey!" or something similar
3. "Everyone knows that."

My favorite reaction is the third, because it's by far the least common reply.

my favorite palindrome is "egad, a base tone denotes a bad age."

bonus points for correct use of "denotes".

This statement is a lie.

Here's a palindrome that Harry will like (because it's in Latin):

'In girum imus nocte et consumimur igni.'

("We go round and round in the night and are consumed by fire.")
It was the title of a 1978 film by Guy Debord, the French situationist, about the spectacle of the consumer and the consumed.

I like it too .... a lot actually. Profound.
