Palindromes are also words or sets of words that not only spell the same thing backwards, but can also spell something else backwards

On the other hand, the date has it's own import.

I, ought to, ought to, ought to. (sp?)

So many things I ought to have done by this date.

Was this in The Music Man? He was in the the graduating class of '02? Ought to have graduated?

Just as an aside, I've always loved words like "Palindrome" and "Onomatopoeia" because they make it possible to descibe the simplest concepts in the most obtuse manner. For example, in an English class I once had, the teacher challenged us to come up with the most complicated sounding definition of a simple word we could. I still remember my answer:

Pop: A monosyllabic palindromic onomatopoeia characterising a sudden explosive discharge of minimal magnitude.

Always remember, idiosyncratically eupheuistic excentricities are the promulgators of triturable obfuscation.

Who else would we expect a six star administrator to quote?cwm35.gif Nice reach BobG, but I think the original little corporal would have used an "a" on the end if he did it in English.

Hey, at least when you speak, a whole lot of folks do pay attention! Congratulations to Klipsch on being able to expand in two states while so many others are falling back to recession postures. I don't know if this Forum reaches enough folks to make much of a bottom line difference... but having a "house organ" with this many happy notes has got to echo positive Klipsch vibes around the world! Keep it rolling... cwm12.gif HornEd

BobG,

sorry to hear about Elba, but then again,

Sore was I ere I saw Eros. Smile.gif

mostly because

Sex at noon taxes. Smile.gif

but then I thought

No, it is open on one position. Smile.gif

and she said

No, it is opposition. Smile.gif

which is all due to the fact that

Eve damned Eden, mad Eve. Smile.gif

and so, of course,

Dammit, I'm mad! Smile.gif

Oh, and what do you call series of words that can be reversed in "word units", like:

Bomb disposal squad with failed technique failed with squad-disposal bomb.

wait there's more!

LAST IN AN ETERNITY EVENT

At 8:02 PM (8 PM is 20: hours on the Greenwich or military clock scale)

on the 20th of February, a twice in eternity thing will happen and you

are here to witness it.

As the clock ticks over from 8:01 PM on Wednesday, February 20th,

2002, time will (for sixty seconds only) read in perfect symmetry. To be more

precise: 20:02, 20/02, 2002. It is an event which has only ever happened

once before in eternity and is something that will never happen again.

The last occasion that time read in such a symmetrical pattern was

long before the days of the digital watch (or the 24-hour clock): 10:01AM,

on January 10, 1001. And because the clock only goes up to 23:59, it is

something that will never happen again!

SO, ENJOY THE "LAST IN AN ETERNITY" EVENT!

Not to pick a nit here, but I think it will happen 1 more time, but not in my lifetime...

Check out 9:12pm on the 21st of December in the year 2112. That would translate to:

21:12, 21/12, 2112

As the clock ticks over from 8.01pm on wednesday, February 20, time will,

for sixty seconds only, read in perfect symmetry 2002, 2002, 2002, or to be

more precise - 20:02, 20/02, 2002.

This historic event will never have the same poignancy as the 11th hour of

the 11th day of the 11th month which marks Armistice Day, but it is an

event

which has only ever happened once before, and is something which will never

be repeated. The last occasion that time read in such a symmetrical pattern

was long before the days of the digital watch and the 24-hour clock - at

10.01am on January 10, 1001. And because the clock only goes up to 23.59,

it

is something that will never happen again.
