Palindromes

Palindromes were a hobby of mine for a while. If you think about them for enough hours, your brain will start to automatically invert every word you see, hear, or think, searching for possibilities. I wrote this one:

Daria had a fad, a hair ad.

Sometimes they don't make perfect sense, but if all the words are real words, it counts. Another one of mine:

Aero-Kevin made Dave's eyes evade. Damn! I've Korea.

The best palindrome ever written was by Gordon Dow. It's a whole page, and it has moments of eerie profundity. It even seems to almost make narrative sense. I present to you: Dog Sees Ada

Now I've found the perfect marriage of hobbies. Webcomics and Palindromes come together in my latest discovery, Palindramas.
