No, because there's no such thing as a palindrone. That would be a drone programmed to follow Michael Palin about. The correct word is palindrome.

That most people are fricking wusses, but that's nothing new.
Or how they're overly identified with their thoughts and feelings because I've been there.

Or the entire premise of human cognitive bias of being biased towards the first thing they knew.


What's new is that they're still acting so shock about certain things.

Is this why people assume I do, too? :roll:

Harold Bluetooth, the viking whose name we now use for wireless technology, is rumoured to have died on the toilet when someone hiding below shot an arrow into his anus.

What a humiliating way to die after all those heroic battles and stuff. I'd better have the sewers checked.
