I'll second that, the man deserves a medal for almost singlehandedly keeping the flow of new threads going.

Happy birthday and on a date that is both a palindrome and an ambigram ! One only in a millennium .... twosday 22/02/2022. What are you all planning as a celebration (or commiseration for those so inclined ?)

 

[Murox]

Happy Birthday to you

 

[Curly green finger's]

Please, what's an ambigram?

It’s twoosday!
actually it’s a palindrome.

The Tuesday phonetically Twosday ....is an ambigram

It's a palindrome of the date and an ambigram because its Tuesday...

He deserves something for all those threads .,... not sure it's a medal though !

Please, what's an ambigram?

A (written) presentation of a word or words that reads the same when rotated 180 degrees or reads the same backwards and forwards.

There are some nice examples here, used by Dan Brown for his book "Angels and Demons" (and a whole load more on another page on that site).

(And happy birthday to Curly, too.)

A good day to be born too

How can the last time we had an ambigram was a thousand years ago? they didn't have pocket calculators back then

 

[Erichalfbee]

I don’t suppose they realised at the time. It’s a retrospective analysis.

Maybe it works on an abacus as well.
