A palindrome is a word, phrase, sentence, number etc that reads the same backwards as it does forwards.
From the Greek palíndromos / running back again.
Examples:
Eve
kayak
level
LOL
noon
Madam, I'm Adam
radar
refer
solos
November 2nd 2011 was a rare eight-digit palindrome day, if you write the date as 11022011 (in the UK we would write this date as 02112011 so it wasn't a palindrome for us here in the UK 
)
Tomorrow is also a very rare palindrome day – the time and date will be a same-numbered palindrome at 11.11.11. on 11.11.11.
A backward palindrome is a word that spells another word when reversed:
doom – mood
evil – live
warts – straw
