For all of you who may need a refresher, a palindrome is a word or phrase that can be written the same both forward and backward. For example:

"Able was I ere I saw Elba." or "racecar"

this is the answer to this riddle?

I am a 13letter word, Iam a thing,
that fishermen love,
Children want to eat,
And doctors hate.

Answer, as I said is : chathuringmes

I can't find it in dictionary, I searched in wikipedia. and there they discuss this question :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/wikipedia:r...
( It is the fourth topic from the bottom, scroll down!)

I don't get the point. Why would children eat worms? Or is this about mopane worms which people of all ages eat in SAfrica? but its biological name is Gonimbrasia belina, HArdly 13 letters.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/mopane_worm...

And why would any doctor hate worms? Like, if there were no sick ppl, they would be out of their jobs, right?

Some one very dear and near to me is functionally illiterate. Spell check doesn't really help because he's so far off on his spelling and his grammar is terrible. But I encourage him to post on the Internet thinking that with practise he might be able to at least get his ideas across. We need to be conscious of the fact that some people are challenged with learning disabilities. When I was young my parents were told that I'd never be able to read or write very well....it is an absolute miracle that I can write as well as I do. And I had to work dang hard to get to where I am so this bit about people who can't spell being lazy is a bunch of garbage!

It would take my family member mentioned above HOURS not minutes to type what I have posted here. My family member puts more work and effort into typing one little note then most of you have to put in to a weeks worth of writing.

Hamlet’s impressive wit whilst pretending to be insane would be a challenge for any actor, but as the character himself, this shows tremendous self-control and intellect; additional forms of power.

I came across a job posting in which the company lists what they are looking for in prospective employees. One of the things they list is "an age upward of 20" and the word "upward" confused me. Does this mean that they are seeking candidates up to age 20 or 20+?
