Aside from its tortured grammar, notice anything unusual?

"Do good? I? No! Evil anon I deliver; I maim nine more hero-men in Saginaw; sanitary sword a-tuck, Carol, I -lo! rack, cut a drowsy rat in Aswan. I gas nine more hero-men in Miami! Reviled, I, Nona, live on. I do, o God!"

By which I presume you mean to say it doesn't make much sense when you read it the first time, but if you read it letter by letter starting from the end, then you will find new meaning.

Or is it the other way around?

If you read it backwards, letter for letter, it is  identical!! This is one of the longer palindromes in the English language.  Anybody else got some palindromes for us? Like -

Naomi, sex at noon taxes, I moan!

May a moody baby doom a yam?

Dennis sinned.

Seems like kind of a cheat, since it's just a list rather than a grammatical sentence.  I agree, someone had WAY too much time on their hands.

Gee, the weirdest thing I noticed about that sentence is that it is six sentences long  TeddyR.

I asked my computer for a palindrome, and it replied:

I am AI.

Yes.

Some words are palindromes, like "level."

Then there's Adam's first words to Eve: "Madam, I'm Adam."

And Napoleon's words on first seeing where he was to be exiled on Elba: "Able was I, ere I saw Elba."

And that's all I have, but there are alot more out there.

This sentence is just the opposite:

They all ran down the winding dirt road.

If you read it backwards, it is different than if you read it forwards.  What are the odds of that?

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
