This has most likely been done to death but, favourite palindromes? Mine: Satan oscillate my metallic sonatas. Also, the Rotas Sator square is very interesting, no?

This snobbish contempt for open-content media is profoundly ironic : If you maintain that user-contributed media is utterly useless, you will have to repudiate this forum, and the above comment you have posted in it.
Still, it would seem that the Sator Arepo is not below everyone :
To them let the Mocking Seal be given, the Mask behind which is outlined the Countenance they seek to bare, the Mystic Rebus, the Sublime Anagram.
“Sator Arepo!” I shout in a voice to make a specter tremble. And Sator Arepo appears, abandoning the wheel he grips with the clever hands of a murderer. At my command, he prostrates himself. I recognize him, for I had already suspected his identity. He is Luciano, the handicapped shipping clerk, who the Unknown Superiors have decreed will be the executor of my evil and bloody task.
“Sator Arepo,” I ask mockingly, “do you know what is the Final Answer concealed behind the Sublime Anagram?”
“No, Count,” the imprudent one replies. “I wait to learn it from your lips.”
From my pale lips infernal laughter bursts and reechoes through the ancient vaults.
“Fool! Only the true initiate knows he does not know it!”
“Yes, master,” the maimed clerk replies stupidly. “As you wish. I am ready.”
-- Umberto Eco, Foucault's Pendulum, 1988

...you will have to repudiate this forum...
The original pudicity didn't take hold?
