The fact that Adams and Jefferson both lived exactly 50 years after the Declaration of Independence signing and died on the same day is beyond comprehension. Solve had both OTTO and TOOT. Do words that are the inside out form of another word, have a special name? These 2 are both palindromes. <br /><br />CMDRS - When writing to address a person of the rank of Commander, the abbreviation CDR is used, and is standard DOD usage.<br /><br />Have a great evening.Spitzboovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04448007368332133086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-43340194433218115892011-07-04T17:00:43.305-05:002011-07-04T17:00:43.305-05:00Hahtool, Looks a little like George McGovern.Hahtool, Looks a little like George McGovern.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-43677711888127563872011-07-04T16:54:27.948-05:002011-07-04T16:54:27.948-05:00Nope, he is not my grandfather, father, husband or...Nope, he is not my grandfather, father, husband or any other relative.
