Allegedly, it's the longest named-based palindrome ever written. As palindromes go, it's lacking spice (nothing like "Satan, oscillate my metallic sonatas"), but over at Significant Objects, Ben Greenman has a clever short-short which uses the "Dennis...and Ellen sinned" palindrome as its springboard.
I have a soft spot in my heart for S.O. since they published one of my short-shorts a few months ago.
