    A gay lovechild from a secret affair with Nanny Pelosi!?

  6. It’s not like it’s a palindrome.

    A man, a plan, a canoe, pasta, heros, rajahs, a coloratura, maps, snipe, percale, macaroni, a gag, a banana bag, a tan, a tag, a banana bag again (or a camel), a crepe, pins, Spam, a rut, a Rolo, cash, a jar, sore hats, a peon, a canal – Panama!

  7. I’m not sure how Guy L. Steele did it, or whether he qualifies for either category. 🙂
