bexter addict Registered: 11/17/10 Posts: 677 Loc: Middle Earth	On a (slightly) related point...words spelled backwords and forwards making the same word are palindromes...my favourite of which is: The Latin word square "Sator Arepo Tenet Opera Rotas" (The farmer/sower, Arepo, sows the seeds) It's remarkable for the fact that it reproduces itself if you form a word from the first letters, then the second letters etc. This means it can be arranged into a word square that reads in four different ways: horizontally and vertically from either top left to bottom right or 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 I'm not sure what the type that you used was but...I'll search for it! _________________________ ----The next sentence is true.
