Madam, Im Adam

Actually, no, I am not Adam, but that is beside the point.

"Madam Im Adam" is one of the most famous palindromes in the English language. A palindrome is a word or phrase that can be read the same way in either direction. They have been used for various reasons for nearly two thousand years, and they have been found in cultures throughout the world. Today, palindromes are popular with names of songs and other titles that lend themselves to one or two words.

My favorite palindrome? It has to be: "Go hang a salami. Im a lasagna hog." Its not something you can drop into everyday conversation, but it just also happens to be the title of a book of palindromes, which is available in the library's online catalog. Check it out!
