Semordinlap Palindromes - Backwards and Forwards

Hi All,

Yes, I know, two days in a row with a blog entry. I'm on a roll now!

Yesterdays' blog entry was just a bit stuffy and formal and well, too button-down. I'm going to change that today that's for sure. Just trying to mix it up for my readers!

Readers might have noticed the strange words in the title of todays' post...

So what the heck is a semordinlap? Well, actually I'm trying (possibly not succeeding) to be funny. You see a palindrome is (click here) 'a word, line, verse, number, sentence, etc., that reads the same backword as forward. For example, the phrase 'madam, I'm adam' or 'poor Dan is in a droop' are examples of palindromes. So...the word 'semordinlap' is actually the word 'palindromes' backwards'.

Click here for a list of 886 palindromes that someone created...go figure. Click here for another list of 50 palindromes - note that these are just words that are spelled the same backwards and forwards. Kind of cute.

Okay, now for another interesting website...you've probably heard of NASA - the National Aeronautics and Space Administration? Well, they do amazing things for the space and earth sciences. Click here to view the main NASA website. Some links that you might find interesting include 'News', 'Missions', 'Connect', and 'Multimedia'. Click on any of the words and you'll go to that particular part of the NASA website.

One of the best parts of the NASA site is the Image of the Day gallery - click here to view the link. So, what does the image gallery do for you? It is a day by day link of images dealing with things related to NASA (including missions, topics of interest relating to NASA, people topics and much more). If you like science, astronomy and 'things' related to outer space this is a neat site for you to bookmark or make a favorite.

Regards,

Stu
