The best palindromic sentence I've ever seen (they are notoriously hard to compose) was about John Findlay Wallace, one of the principal engineers of the Panama Canal. It was 'A man, a plan, a canal. Panama!'
Anyone got any other good ones?

Many palindromes found on websites etc are merely collections of words that make little, if any, real sense or are not in ‘normal' English and without sense and normality there is little point in creating palindromes.

I like "Norma is as selfless as I am, Ron." (25 letters) That one has the inestimable advantage of being in standard English and it makes perfect sense. (As a matter of interest, it came from a brief trawl through those on the website-link provided above.)
