Can you come up with words that can either be sliced to look symmetrical, or are mirrorised!
SLICED - OH

You mean a palindrome? There are some interesting ones, like this:

Or supposedly Napolean said:
"Able was I, ere, I saw Elba."
You know... when he was on Elba... and able...

Ah dammit, I wanted to post the current longest palindrome... But there is a limit of 10.000 characters.... You can see it on: www.norvig.com/palindrome.html________________________________ Live, O Devil, revel ever, live, do evil. |

Hmm... interesting, but it does lack a certain luster. I mean, it's essentially a computer program that arranges letters in such a way as to form actual words, but no actual sense. So you wind up with (essentially) a bunch of letters that don't really go anywhere, except for the fact that they're mirrors of each other from the midpoint. It's sort of cool to see something that large that actually still works out to technically be called a palindrome, but I'd be a whole lot more impressed if it made any sense whatsoever instead of just being a big string of (pseudo-)random words separated by commas.  -Kitty |
