    "no," "is," and "that's all I got..." is not a palindrome, but "nurses run" is. kidding

    There's a city in northern California called Yreka, and there's a bakery in Yreka called Yreka Bakery. Does that count?

    I think a word should be an actual word to count as the longest palindrome. And, being invented by a phony, pompous, self-important but famous writer isn't sufficient to make it a real word.

    Likewise, palindromic sentences should also be sentences, imo, not nonsensical sentence fragments.

    What did the rodent-fearing man say?

    Was it a rat I saw?

    What do you call the man's first appearance on TV?

    Tube debut

    What was the Eskimo whose boat capsized?

    What's non-sensical of about Manny's palindrome? It's referencing the Panama Canal and it's creation.
