This week is palindrome week—every date reads the same forwards and backwards. 7/10/17, 7/13/17, 7/14/17... you get the point. Just like words and phrases can be palindromes—mom, racecar, level, live not on evil—so too can numbers.
The palindrome has a long history that goes all the way back to the ancient Greeks, who would inscribe palindromic phrases on fountains. One of the most popular fountain inscriptions was "wash the sin as well as the face." Although that phrase isn't a palindrome in English, it is one in Greek.
