If you’ve seen Monty Python’s Dead Parrot Sketch on TV, the title makes more sense. For those that avoid culturally and mentally enriching TV, the title refers to the pet store owner telling the customer(Cleese) that he was in Bolton not Ipswich. When the lie was revealed, the owner claimed that Ipswich was the palindrome of Bolton.

The world’s longest palindrome that contains no proper nouns (except Panama) is located here.

Who knew that a decagram was part of the Panama Canal?

Epilogue

I know, I don’t watch LOST or Survivor or much else on TV these days. I do watch Crossing Jordan. Otherwise, I’m all over British Comedies, the History Channel, and the occasional episode of America’s Funniest Animals. I believe that television programming has degenerated past the point that I care much for watching it. Ugh.

However, I admit I do not read as much as I would like. After seeing The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe yesterday (courtesy of my church), I would like to read the books again.

Then again, maybe I’ll actually finish writing a book.
