The word for palindrome should itself be a palindrome. Palinilap? Dromemord? Mordedrom? The first would be most in keeping with the Greek root "palin", meaning "again". But I'm partial to "dromemord" myself. Whatever the preferred option might be, we can certainly do better than what we've got.

What Sacrifice?
Across the nation and around the world, in the houses of faith and the minds of the faithful, much is made of the sacrifice of Jesus, and the reverence and devotion that is owed for it. The greatness of that act, and the obligation attached to it, is the very foundation of religions followed by … Continue reading What Sacrifice?
The Answer

Mobile Elevators
Perhaps a workable element of a sci-fi story, but something that would be pretty cool in real life, too.

Basically, a combination elevator and subway -- though the trams could be at … Continue reading Mobile Elevators

I feel like this must have been done in some way already, but I don't think it has been done like this. Swap comparable homes of two families who live in racially or religiously or politically different neighborhoods. Move the families completely out of their homes, and into each other's.
