Only a sentence in very rough terms as he's just stringing together an arbitrarily large number of noun phrases. The palindromes are of the form:<p>S -&#62; "A man", "a plan", (NP,)* "a canal, Panama!"<p>which I suppose you could call a sentence.

That's AFAIK the longest human-made palindrome but I'm sure there must be longer ones:<p><a href="http://everything2.com/index.pl?node_id=830538" rel="nofollow">http://everything2.com/index.pl?node_id=830538</a><p>I'd be glad to find longer ones!

Doesn't he have bigger things to worry about, like staying ahead of Bing search quality, for one?
