They're called palindromes....(I think...)

radar

kayak

"Madam, I'm Adam."

"A man, a plan, a canal-Panama."

and of course, my ultimate all time favorite:

"Stressed? No tips? Spit on desserts!"

that's all I can think of now.

Incidently, I just read something in the newspaper a little while back talking about how this is a palindromic year (2002). Also 1991 was a palindromic year. The last time 2 palindromic years have occured so close together was 999 and 1001. And then they went on about how unusual it is to live through 2 palindromic years in a lifetime.

Bootsy is right - sentences or words that are spelt the same way backwards and forwards are called palendromes.

"Rise to vote sir" is a palendromic sentence.

I got these from a site:

Race Car
Evil Olive
Step on no pets
Oh no Don Ho
Was it a rat I saw?
Put Eliot's toilet up
Enid and Edna dine
Never odd or even
Not a banana baton
Ned,I am a maiden
Ma is a nun as I am
Too bad, I hid a boot
Todd erases a red dot
He lived as a devil, eh?
Cigar Toss it in a can, it is so tragic
Denim axes examined
No lemons no melon
Here's a word I created that's one:
SPIFFIPS
