A Paradise of Palindromes

November 11th, 2011

I'm kind of a nerd for palindromes (words and numbers which read the same both backwords and forwards)... So I figured I simply had to recognize this moment and post something at 11:11:11 on 11/11/11. Not that I really have all that much to say... I just wanted to recognize the moment. :-)

Just one more fun fact, as a parting shot: Did you know that we are a rare generation with the privilege of living through two palindromic years during the course of our lifetime: 1991 and 2002? Ours is the first generation with this privilege since those who lived through 999 and 1001... Can you guess when the next generational occurence will come along?
