Yup, it's known as a "palindrome" - word or words that spell the same backwards and forwards. Famous one is what Napoleon was supposed to have said when he was exiled to the Island of Elba : " Able was I ere I saw Elba", ("ere" being poetic licence for "ever" - cheating slightly, but so what?!)

Well this was fun to read, and I have to say in no small part it was BECAUSE of Joel's charming delivery. Book smarts aren't everything. I respect the wisdom and wickedly sharp sense of humor. It's like reading one of the Foxfire books, you never know what you are going to learn. Plus those were some sweet bottles especially the owl one. Hope your hands feel better Joel.

Hey Joel, sounds like you might have "Carpal Tunnel"-has to do with nerve compression. It can make your hands numb. I get that occasionally, and if I just squeeze my hand into a fist for a while, the numbness goes away. Hope this helps you. -Julie
