So today is 'Backwards day' which is encouraging us to do things oppositely. It's a time to take a look at our actions to see how reversing them can be effective and fun at the same time.

BUT, because I like to be different, I thought we could have some fun with palindromes, which are words or sayings that are spelled the same way forwards and backwards.

Three of my favorites are;

Taco cat
Madam
Racecar (Racecar is Racecar backwards is one of my favorite albums)


Let's see how many we can think of?  Over to you Scope fam!

    I've enjoyed palindrome dates and times from the year 2000

    I like UFO tofu! Extra-terrestrial bean curd.
     
    And apparently it's only fictional and not recognised as a real term, but some people have named the irrational fear of palindromes Aibohphobia. Which is, you guessed it, a palindrome :D

    Probably should ask your very own palindromic member of the Scope team:

    I'm just going to pop out in my kayak to take a peep at what my mum has being doing. I have a radar so I should find her by noon.
