Here's some.... from a book.
Are we not drawn onward, we few, drawn onward to new era?
Do good's deeds live on? No, evil's deeds do, O God.
Eve damned Eden, mad Eve.
There's also a phrase in English, which when reversed translates into the
same phrase in latin....
Anger? 'Tis safe never. Bar it! Use love!
Evoles ut ira breve nefas sit; regna.

It should be, "Ma is a nun, as I am"
Keith Lewis
: "Ma is a nun, as am I" -- NOT!
: It should be, "Ma is a nun, as I am"
I was wondering about that one... another variation on a similar thing is:
Ma is as selfless as I am.

A man, a plan, a canoe, pasta, hero's, rajahs, a coloratura,
maps, snipe, percale, macaroni, a gag, a banana bag, a tan,
a tag, a banana bag again, or: a camel, a crepe, pins, spam,
a rut, a Rolo, cash, a jar, sore hats, a peon, a canal -- Panama!
Here is some information about a few palindromes related to the one
you mention. As far as I know, the first person to put a cat in the
canal was Jim Saxe, in his 9 October 1983 plan file.
A man, a plan, a cat, a canal -- Panama?
Guy Jacobson added several items later that year.
A man, a plan, a cat, a ham, a yak, a yam, a hat, a canal -- Panama!
Guy's palindrome appears on page 127 of COMMON LISP, THE LANGUAGE
(page 170 of the 2nd edition). The 2nd edition of COMMON LISP, THE
LANGUAGE also contains the remarkable:
A man, a plan, a canoe, pasta, heros, rajahs, a coloratura, maps,
snipe, percale, macaroni, a gag, a banana bag, a tan, a tag, a
banana bag again (or a camel), a crepe, pins, Spam, a rut, a Rolo,
cash, a jar, sore hats, a peon, a canal -- Panama!
which is presumably the work of Guy Steele, the book's author.
I dredged up the problem in 1984, and discovered the following 540-word
version with the help of a computer program that I wrote.
A man, a plan, a caret, a ban, a myriad, a sum, a lac, a liar,
a hoop, a pint, a catalpa, a gas, an oil, a bird, a yell, a vat,
a caw, a pax, a wag, a tax, a nay, a ram, a cap, a yam, a gay,
a tsar, a wall, a car, a luger, a ward, a bin, a woman, a vassal,
a wolf, a tuna, a nit, a pall, a fret, a watt, a bay, a daub,
a tan, a cab, a datum, a gall, a hat, a fag, a zap, a say, a jaw,
a lay, a wet, a gallop, a tug, a trot, a trap, a tram, a torr,
a caper, a top, a tonk, a toll, a ball, a fair, a sax, a minim,
a tenor, a bass, a passer, a capital, a rut, an amen, a ted,
a cabal, a tang, a sun, an ass, a maw, a sag, a jam, a dam, a sub,
a salt, an axon, a sail, an ad, a wadi, a radian, a room, a rood,
a rip, a tad, a pariah, a revel, a reel, a reed, a pool, a plug,
a pin, a peek, a parabola, a dog, a pat, a cud, a nu, a fan, a pal,
a rum, a nod, an eta, a lag, an eel, a batik, a mug, a mot, a nap,
a maxim, a mood, a leek, a grub, a gob, a gel, a drab, a citadel,
a total, a cedar, a tap, a gag, a rat, a manor, a bar, a gal,
a cola, a pap, a yaw, a tab, a raj, a gab, a nag, a pagan, a bag,
a jar, a bat, a way, a papa, a local, a gar, a baron, a mat, a rag,
a gap, a tar, a decal, a tot, a led, a tic, a bard, a leg, a bog,
a burg, a keel, a doom, a mix, a map, an atom, a gum, a kit,
a baleen, a gala, a ten, a don, a mural, a pan, a faun, a ducat,
a pagoda, a lob, a rap, a keep, a nip, a gulp, a loop, a deer,
a leer, a lever, a hair, a pad, a tapir, a door, a moor, an aid,
a raid, a wad, an alias, an ox, an atlas, a bus, a madam, a jag,
a saw, a mass, an anus, a gnat, a lab, a cadet, an em, a natural,
a tip, a caress, a pass, a baronet, a minimax, a sari, a fall,
a ballot, a knot, a pot, a rep, a carrot, a mart, a part, a tort,
a gut, a poll, a gateway, a law, a jay, a sap, a zag, a fat,
a hall, a gamut, a dab, a can, a tabu, a day, a batt, a waterfall,
a patina, a nut, a flow, a lass, a van, a mow, a nib, a draw,
a regular, a call, a war, a stay, a gam, a yap, a cam, a ray,
an ax, a tag, a wax, a paw, a cat, a valley, a drib, a lion,
a saga, a plat, a catnip, a pooh, a rail, a calamus, a dairyman,
a bater, a canal -- Panama.
This was done with the Unix spelling dictionary and a fairly
simple-minded program. With a better word list and a smarter program
I'm sure the palindrome could be ten times as long.
I am somewhat concerned that people have been redistributing these
palindromes without attribution. Please don't do so. And if you get
a copy of my palindrome without my name on it, I would appreciate it
if you mention my objection to whoever sends it to you.

These remind me of a friend who went out partying one night:
He was supposed to call home as soon as he got to the party. But of course
he forgot to do so right away. Instead he downed a few beers before calling.
Once he got his buzz going, he remembered he had to call. When his father
answered the phone, my friend said, "Hey, dad....[brief pause]...Hey, I just

Are there more countries with which you can do this ?
I could think of the following:
DNA, lop-sided, is Poland
DNA, Liz, aw'some Mo: Swaziland
(a trifle fudged, I admit)
DNA, Lulu: Zululand
A Dan, a Candy, a bar, a cat, a car, a bay, DNA: Canada
(i.e., Dan Ackroyd, John Candy)
So a lot went new to Laos
Nap, a jog, go ! Japan.
(the Japanese way of life)
Are there more ???
I've always found it strange that the word 'palindrome' is
not a palindrome itself. However, if we are allowed to mix
Swedish and English:
Se mord, Ni Lapp: palindromes !
(meaning ~ "see murder, you Lap:")
I also realised that Swedish (and Norwegian and Danish) must
be ideal languages for palindromophiles; it has lots of vowels
and many words end in 'exotic' consonants (e.g., v, b, g) which
is always useful.
Any good Swedish palindromes (other than "Ni talar bra Latin",
you speak latin well) out there ?

Still longer is:
SAIPPUAKALASALAKAUPPIAS
(a secret soap-fish seller?)
A fish called 'saippuakala' (soap-fish) really exists, but I don't know if
you have to sell it in secrecy.

case marker, a common enough error, though thoroughly explained in
Cicero, Ars Palindromi, and later in Bede's treatise on Adam, the
original source of "madam i'm adam," though it is more complicated in
Bede's medieval Latin.
Not a criticism, just an elucidation.

Well,you have a mistake. Actually it's: SAIPPUAKIVIKAUPPIAS (you forgot 3 letters)
The longest ENGLISH palindrome is REDIVIDER.
...or a new chemical word: DETARTRATED.
By the way, the longest palindrome ever (not one word) have 66,666 words
starting with Al,Sign it, "Lover"!.... and ending with "...revolting,isla"
Egh, bandwidth waste...

There are two I know in spanish:
1) RECONOCER. It's the verb ( to recognize ).
2) AREPERA: It's a venezuelan place where we can buy arepas with meat,
ham, cheese, etc.. or combination of them inside the arepa.
This place is like a fastfood one where many people go for
breakfast.
Arepa is some type of corn pie which is the analogous of bread.
In USA, I found somewhere they translate arepa as " corn
turnover ".

I went to two of the inaugural balls [in 1989], which is about
all a nonelected human being can bear. You can't drink because
the bar is 250,000 Republicans away from where you are. And
you can't dance because the music is being played by the
Marines on sousaphones. This must be what entertainment was
like in the nineteenth century, before fun was invented.

Yeah...I know that in *this* country, soap fish dealing is a felony offense.
So next time I see that word in the paper, I'll know that *not only* is it a
palindrome, but also that one of the dastardly soap-fish-dealing rapscallions
have been caught. And good riddance too.

words you claim is a pallindrome. I cannot. It is bollocks. And while it is
pallindromic it lacks the finesse of: Satan oscillate my metallic sonatas.
Or the grace of: Niagara, O roar again.
