Writing long palindromes that make sense in proper English is the hardest part. James Thurber's He goddam mad dog, eh? is almost there, but fails grammatically. Penelope Gilliat's oddity "Doc, note: I dissent. A fast never prevents a fatness. I diet on cod" is long enough, and grammatically correct, but so what? Howard R. Bergerson's colossal The Faded Bloomers' Rhapsodyis 450 letters long and makes no sense whatsoever.

This one is inscribed on a ritual wash-basin from ancient Greece: ΝΙΨΟΝ ΑΝΟΜΗΜΑ ΜΗ ΜΟΝΟΝ ΟΨΙΝ "Wash (away your ) sins, not only (your) face."
