Take any 3 digit number, and make it's palindrome (by reading it backwards), and add them both together.
ex. 893 + 398
Take the sum of the 3 digit number and its palindrome and repeat the process.
1291 + 1921
Take that sum and repeat the process and... it's a palindrome number:
3212 + 2123 = 5335
Yeah, I know it's really geeky, like something that you would run home and tell your parents about after learning it from your third grade teacher, but admit it- you were kind of impressed, weren't you? I swear, at this rate, I'm going to be attending Star Trek conventions in my rainbow suspenders by the end of the week...

Ever seen literature about all the funky properties of the numer 9?
Or how about cellular automata? That's some whacked-out shit.

Hey, thanks for the tip- I checked out the wiki on the properties of the number nine, and it is pretty amazing.
