This isn’t funny at all. It isn’t really meant to be funny though. For some reason it popped into my head that if you write an a and an e with the correct font you could make an ambigram out of the term “eds spa”. That interested me.

I’m completely fascinated by palindromes and anagrams. I am constantly forming anagrams out of words I see written down or on signs and I’m always on the lookout for palindromes in car registrations, serial numbers on bank notes or any strings of numbers that I see. I have a spreadsheet that is constantly generating prime-number palindromes out of factors of one of the addresses in “The Untouchables” (I’m not making this up. I don’t have the creative bandwidth to fabricate something so bizarre and so boring.)

I’ll go back to dreaming up the plot to another story…

If your name is “Ed” and you run a spa, consider this for your logo. You can have it for free (just give me credit when people ask where you came up with it.)
