PALINDROMES


Hello!! Do you know what a "palindrome" is?
A palindrome is
a word, phrase, verse, or sentence that reads the same backward or forward. It's really curious. Here I give you an example, so that you can seek more palindromes:

-My palindrome is: "Madam, in Eden I'm Adam"

Who is able to find more? Enjoy it!!! XXX

I'm learning a lot of English and other interesting thing.
I'm gaining a lot of culture :)

"Name no one man"

Tamara said...

Sue!!! I think I know the answer:

The name of the Futurama's character you've posted is: "Teacher Hubert Farnsworth"
More information: He is a scientist. Like "Profesor fish", do you remember?
"Profesor fiiiiish, the scientiiiiist"

Another thing!!!
Do you remember when I posted a question, and I said:
-One condition: Sue Soto can´t answer it.

I think now you must answer it!! Let´s go!
