What Is A Palindrome?

Yesterday's date 01.02.2010 was a palindrome, reading the same backward and forward. The last time we had this phenomenon was 08.31.1380

That was 630 years ago so I guess date palindromes are rare, right? I love learning new words, don't you? So did Samuel Johnson.

My birthdate is a palindrome. Well,if you don't add a zero in front of the month it is,anyway : 3.7.73. I've always loved my birthdate because of the wonderful symmetry of it :)

Well, and I guess I can't include the 19 in front of the 73 to make it a true palindrome but oh,well ---- it's a Abbreviated Palindrome LOL
