Capicúa o palíndromo in Spanish. Is it a palindrome in English? Can't remember.

Wow I found this on google

In 2002, Peter Norvig read that Dan Hoey had created a computer program that had generated a 540 word palindrome in 1984. Thinking he could do one better, Norvig created his own version of the program. Both programs were based off of the classic phrase “A man, a plan, a canal: Panama.” The algorithm puts words into the middle of the sentence while keeping the same beginning and end to make sure it is a palindrome. On Norvig's first try he was able to make a 15,139 word palindrome; after a bit of tweaking he created he created a 17,259 word palindrome, the longest one to date.

Seems like just a list of words though haha I think he cheated
---------
The shortest palindromic word, not counting one-letter words, is aa, which is a Hawaiian word for a kind of lava.
Ah, so many useless facts on the internet

That one makes more sense. A fox may not eat rice unless it's got
chorizo in it:)
