    I mean, I guess I could string a bunch of words together. But to me a palindrome would have to make sense.

    Seriously, try doing a 20-word one. Not as easy as you think.

    Oh, I know it's not. That's why I wouldn't write one.

    But the ones I've seen make more sense than that one.

    Oh, agree, totally. I'm just impressed by the scale of it.

    Define palindrome.
    Should a palindrome make sense?
    Let us debate it.

    Yeah, it's like he just put a bunch of random words together that make no sense just to have a palindrome and I don't think it's that impressive. Just busy work. Now if it were a better one, I'd be impressed.

    Oh, it's impressive as all hell. Killick's right. Even a very basic one takes a lot of effort. 224 words? Crazy.

    It just didn't strike me as the kind of palindrome I'd seen. Not knocking Martin at all.

    Do quote marks count? If so, it doesn't work.
