- Palindromes.

palindrome is a word, phrase, number, or other sequence of characters which reads the same backward or forward. 
Palindromes have been created for many centuries. Greeks are known to have often inscribed the following onto their fountains: 
Nipson anomemata me monan opsin.

It means:  wash the sin as well as the faceThe word "palindrome" was coined by the English playwright Ben Jonson in the 17th century from the Greeks. 
Palindromes often consist of a sentence or phrase: "Mr. Owl ate my metal worm", Go hang a salami; I'm a lasagna hog!
They can also be composed by a word: eye, Bob, Anna; or even number: 131, 5885, 989, 232, 6446. 

Here are some palindromes:


• If I had a Hi-Fi.
• Eva, can I see bees in a cave?
• Madam, I'm Adam.
 • No lemon, no melon.
• Was it a cat I saw?
• Now I see bees, I won.
• May a moody baby doom a yam?
 Dennis sinned.
• Madam, in Eden I'm Adam.
