Palindromes

Right this second it is 2:22...there is something strange about palindromes ...something asthetically pleasing. And yes, you eiher love them or you hate them, you can not be in the grey area when dealing with palindromes.

This paticular example below of a palindrome is unbelievably good:

"Palindromes date back at least to 79 A.D., as the palindromic Latin word square "Sator Arepo Tenet Opera Rotas" was found as a graffito at Pompeii, buried by ash in that year. This palindrome is remarkable for the fact that it also reproduces itself if one forms a word from the first letters, then the second letters and so forth. Hence it can be arranged into a word square that reads in four different ways: horizontally or vertically from top left to bottom right; and horizontally or vertically from bottom right to top left.

S A T O R
A R E P O
T E N E T
O P E R A
R O T A S

While some sources translate this as "The sower Arepo holds the wheels at work", translation is problematic as the word arepo is otherwise unknown; the square may have been a coded Christian signifier, with TENET forming a cross."

AH...it's so symmetrical.. it works EVERY single way you look at it and it actually means something. it's not just gibberish but actual words that form coherent thoughts. There's no way i can convey how amazing this is to me...you either feel it too or else you think i'm a freak. ;o)
