Some choice tidbits from October 2012, worth repeating here: > [@Awesome palindrome in a Doper's sig](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/awesome-palindrome-in-a-dopers-sig/637914/2): > > **Malacandra’s** sig used to be, “A man, a plan, a canoe, pasta, heros, rajahs, a coloratura, snipe, percale, macaroni, a gag, a banana bag, a tan, a tag, a banana bag again (or a camel), a crepe, pins, a rut, a Rolo, cash, a jar, sore hats, a peon, a canal – Panama,” but it appears it’s been changed. > [@Awesome palindrome in a Doper's sig](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/awesome-palindrome-in-a-dopers-sig/637914/3): > > My sig used to be an extension of the Panama palindrome that I made up: > > A man, a plan, a case of reviled Spam. Onward, go deliver a dare, vile dog! Draw no maps, deliver foes! A canal, Panama! > [@Awesome palindrome in a Doper's sig](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/awesome-palindrome-in-a-dopers-sig/637914/4): > > Pat yourself on the back, then - mine was shamelessly ripped off, not my own invention. (I used it as flavour text on my work email .sig for a while until my boss moaned at me for being unprofessional. And that puts it back eight years at least!) ---

I actually once knew a person whose surname was Turner, and he married a girl named Ruth, and then called her by a nickname Ren-Ruth, so her name became the palindromic Ren-Ruth Turner. ---
