It's called a palindrome. The word comes from Greek and means "running back." It also describes a group of words that do the same thing. Ex.: The first man introduces himself to the first woman: "Madam, I'm Adam." If you look up palindormes on the web, you'l find an abundance of far more complicated ones!

Here are a few phrases that work, they both read the same forward and backwards: Doc, note: I dissent. A fast never prevents a fatness. I diet on cod. Stressed? No Tips? Spit on Desserts. Borat to go, OK? Oy! Yokoo gotta rob. Was it a car or a cat I saw? Tango, O Gnat! "Do nine men interpret?" "Nine men," I nod. Nine kats is taken in. I, madam, I made radio. So I dared! Am I mad? Am I? Now, sir, a war is never even -- sir, a war is won! Not a tub, but a ton. Butt raft fart tub. Mr. Owl ate my metal worm. Kay, a red nude, peeped under a yak. No evil I did I live on Naomi, sex at noon taxes, I moan. Karma never on, nor even a Mr. Ak.

Hah! I know this one: it's a palindrome!
The real question is: shouldn't the word "palindrome" be a palindrome?
