That isn't a palindrome in the question though..is it?

[sddsddean]

If you change 'has' to 'had' it is, but it doesn't really make any sense either way. At least 'Able was I ere I saw Elba' is a meaningful sentence.

"A man, a plan, a canal...Panama!" is one of my favourites. A/B's first offering is certainly lengthy, but surely one would say "...to a new era" and not just "...to new era". The original in the question, indeed, makes no sense and without that there is little point in creating palindromes. Click http://complex.gmu.edu/neural/personnel/ernie/witt
y/palindromes.html for a site with loads...of both sorts.

I believe my question's palindrome makes sense in context:- An Indian man went on holiday to Canada, but was told he'd have to leave his beloved pythons. Because he was pining for huge snakes, he wnt to a zoo in Canada and was delighted. When he arrived home his wife asked if he had missed his pythons and become upset. He answered 'Sad? No. Canada had anacondas.'

Quite, Shatnerfan! However, it's the function of punctuation to make sense of word-groups. In its absence, there generally is no sense! Your original and later offerings are as different as chalk and cheese.

well I don't know if I can go longer but that isn't supposed to be one is it? check out the "Canada has" and "Canasa had"!

Your 'anaconda' one has 23 letters, S...here's one with 25 (ie it's longer).

"Norma is as selfless as I am, Ron."

It also has the inestimable advantage of being easily punctuated, it's in standard English and makes perfect sense. (As a matter of interest, it came from a brief trawl through those on the website-link I provided earlier.)
