What Makes a Good Palindrome?

Symmetry

Palindromes are a perfect example of symmetry in language, which is fascinating to the human brain.

Ignoring Punctuation

The best palindromic phrases are those that still make sense as a sentence, like "Was it a car or a cat I saw?".

Numbers Count Too

Numbers can also be palindromes. For example, the year 2002 is a palindrome, as is the number 12321.
