Hello, readers!

First, we have to establish what is aibohphobia. Most of you probably hear about this phobia the first time. The fear of something. What exactly is it?
It is the fear of palindromes. I'm sure this word sounds more familiar.
But for those who don't know what a palindrome is:
Dammit, I’m Mad!
No, I'm not mad at you. I just gave an example. This was a palindrome.
If you read it again backwards you'll see it is exactly the same. There you have it! The word or a sentence that it reads the same forwards and backwards is a palindrome.
In fact, I gave you an example of palindrome even earlier. Aibohphobia is a palindrome itself. At least they had a little humour there, because the word palindrome is no fun at all.
Why am I talking about palindromes?
As you might have noticed, yes, my username is a palindrome. I originally wanted to go with tacocat but it was already taken. Godsdog is still funny and short enough, so I'm happy with it.
Here are some additional palindromes that I find funny:
A Santa at Nasa.
As I pee, sir, I see Pisa!
Yo, banana boy!
A but tuba.
No lemons, no melon.
Madam, I'm Adam.
Was It A Rat I Saw?
Oozy rat in a sanitary zoo.
No sir, away, a papaya war is on!
Never Odd Or Even.
And while we're at numbers, yes we have some even at math:
11 squared is 121
111 squared is 12321
...
111,111,111 squared is 12345678987654321
poop
@godsdog out!
