Oh God! i feel like i'm drunk ... hic ....
More than palindrome you could called it mirror or something like that ...
I think, i can make the same effect with some code, a mirror, a digital camera, gimp||photoshop, a character recognition application :

Step 1) Take a photo of your initial code on your screen
Step 2) Put the mirror in front of your screen
  +--------+
  | Screen |     
  +--------+
      ||  
  +---------+     +----------+
  | Mirror1 | <-> | Mirror 2 |
  +---------+     +----------+
Step 3) take a photo of the 'mirror 2'
Step 4) save the two photos to your Hardisk
Step 5) open your gimp||photoshop
Step 6) Join the two photos
Step 7) Pass the ocr 
Step 8) saves the result, and get so many errors
        when trying to compile it hehehe

What can i say; your code is ingenious, and very obfuscated (understanble, but harmfull to any who wants to read it!), i promise that while i was reading it, i startet to see aTaD as the correct one instead of DaTa ... reverse reading ufff, bad thing! (You gained it: $chargrill++)

cheers
