Replete with a link to Midweek Book Puzzle IV (http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=71717) if anyone wants to finish it off.

Anyway, for this weeks puzzle I have laid out a few simple straightforward clues the catch being that the answers are all palindromes. Example

a dark elf's blade-"drow's sword"

Bearing this unusual property in mind, try your luck on the rest of these:

1. colourless troubadour
2. spacious bog
3. what a white hole might do
4. my Japanese car
5. the place that lions hold in the food chain
6. a sour dipteran
7. the slowness of a storm?
8. an unpleasant thing to have to do in the morning...especially when you are tired and were looking forward to the caffiene...
9. what Sirius could be chasing

Have fun.

Why not make up a few more?

1) What Pringles come in
2) Bast's counterpart
3) Transportation to the docks
4) Why your shoe doesn't fit

Easy peasy...

And some more:

5) How long your toddler will sleep
6) Scrub an idiot
7) A little Schlitz?
8) An epic about hydrogen
9) Paddle a Mongolian beast to Alaska

Some answers have more than two words.
