"Kool looK"

Every now & then we see people making comments like this...this time when i was making this comment i just realised that by mis-spelling it i have made a new palindrome...& i said 'AHA' ...oh my god! its a palindrome again.
This excited me & took me to google to search more for palindrome...this search led me to great talked about Panama Canal palindrome.
Jim Saxe was perhaps the first person to put a cat in the canal.
A man, a plan, a cat, a canal; Panama!-- Jim Saxe, plan file @ CMU, 9 October 1983
Guy Jacobson added several items later that year.
A man, a plan, a cat, a ham, a yak, a yam, a hat, a canal--Panama!-- Guy Jacobson, plan file @ CMU late 1983
Dan Hoey dredged up the problem in 1984, and discovered the following 540-word version using a Unix program.(for those interested visit http://www.big.net/djs/pali.html)
