01022010

I didn't realize it thanks to still being massively hung over, but apparently Saturday was a palindrome day.
Saturday, 01-02-2010, was the second Palindrome Day of the 21st century. The last time we celebrated was 10-02-2001. But according to the Christian Science Monitor, the Palindrome Day before that was way back in the 14th century, on 08-31-1380.

Anyway, it would have been a good time to plug our “Palindromes are Rasemordnilap!” t-shirt. Oh well. If you’re in a t-shirt buying mood, you won’t have to wait 600 years for this one to be holiday appropriate—the next Palindrome Day is 11-02-2011.

Mostly, I don't really understand why the word for "word that reads the same backwards and forwards" does not read the same backwards and forwards. Woulda been cool, right? What the fuckkcufehttahw?
