Donald Duck comics were banned from Finland because he doesn't wear pants.

Yet when he gets out off the shower he wraps a towel around himself.

In addition to writing the James Bond novels, Ian Flemming also wrote Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

Finnish has three of the worlds longest palindromic words:

saippuakivikauppias - a soapstone seller
saippuakuppinippukauppias - a soap cup trader
solutomaattimittaamotulos - the result from a measurement laboratory for tomatoes :P

Palindromic phrases from around the world:

nipson anomemata me monan opsin [ancient greek] meaning wash my sins, not only my face.

Btw, the PS is a transcription of one greek letter so would read ni* both ways before you get pedantic over the ps/ps not mirroring.

in girum imus nocte et consumimur igni [latin] meaning we enter the circle after dark and are consumed by fire

nie fragt sie: ist gefegt? sie ist gar fein [german] meaning she never asks: has the sweeping been done? she is very refined

neulo taas niin saat oluen [finnish] means knit again, so that will get a beer

did I mention I read some weird but interesting stuff???

If you removed all the keys from your keyboard and placed them side-by-side they'd reach all the way to the moon!

Try it, I did!!

Lyns brain is way too powerful.
I could just ask her a question about anythin' and she'd know the answer.

Bet she dosn't know the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow though :P
