EDIT: still doing fp requests? B00ty and b00by

Shouldn't that be, "Oh, to be man, a sin" instead of "Oh, to be 'a' man, a sin"? Feel like it was mistranscribed.

His show was literally hit or miss. Half of his jokes were comical, the others were absolutely terrible. Still got on TV tho so no bad?

Weird Al has a song called "Bob" which is written entirely in palindromic lines https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAfIikFnvuI

If I read it backward, the spaces are in the wrong locations and the letters are facing the wrong way; So, no, it is not the same.

8 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 2

to go by your rules would make a dull read. these are typically the rules for something like this. E.g. "A man, a plan, a canal, Panama."

If anything, making a palindrome that can arrange into different words backwards is more challenging, and certainly more fun to read.

The poem is not a perfect palindrome, there is an A missing between the m and e in “sin is a name”

8 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 1

I noticed this too, but I think it's a typo. "oh to be man, a sin" rather than "oh to be A man, a sin"

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I think its meant to be "oh to be man, a sin", not "oh to be a man"

How the absolute fuck do you even go about writing something like this? This poem is beyond impressive.

Check out the Oulipo writers and other similar constraint-based literature. Georges Perec in particular has done some amazing stuff.

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I is the middle letter in "still if I fill". Also, "a man" should be just "man", otherwise there would be an error. I'm bored.

It definitely isn’t, I just checked so thanks for that. Emordnilap doesn’t follow general rules for constructing words in English 1/2

And it doesn’t have a root language, so the word would never be constructed. It was made up by the dude who said all that dumb shit. 2/2
