Racecar is racecar backwards.

Also the debut album of Reuben a heavy metal band. Lead singer Jamie Lenman was named as one of the coolest people in 2017 by Shortlist (or maybe Esquire, I forget). I worked with him in a fish and chip shop in Farnham nearly 15 years ago hehe

Have a look at what he looks like now!

Weirder still was that 10 years after said chippy job, I was working at The Guardian newspaper, and who should I see in the canteen, but him again, doing something or other. I never did have the balls to bring up the part time job.

A lot of traits thought to be unique to humans are actually found in other animals, from chimps through to rats. For example "reciprocal altruism has been shown in rats helping other rats from drowning, getting wet themselves in the process.

Others such as cooking, morality, politics, theory of mind,culture, consciousness, language have all been witnessed in other animals.

Animals have also shown rituals, when a death occurs, some will bury there dead, magpies actually lay grass on there dead.

Just don't try and do both at once, the chances of spilling the milk would be quite high
