Hi Loosehead. I recommend entering the items you want into Google in image search mode. It's excellent - bunch of thumbnails come up and you can see the images larger and in the context of the site they're from.

Collective congratulations to those of you contributing, for so promptly solving our previous problem, correctly sorting out luscious Olympia without resort to phocoid prompting.
(...Hey, ~jwf~, every word with an O! )
Still waiting for Seamus...

*see subject line - ignore these transgressions*
OK Mister Smarty Pants, now we limit it to words only having Os.
No A,E,I or U.
Oh boys-o-boys! So, now God only got orthodox Old Golds, yo!

Only Os? So no long words! Doom for Good Old Hootoo...
* look of forlorn sorrow *
howls to
No! Do not conform! Hootoo's got to stop John! (God knows how...)
...Doc?
Oh Joy! Lobotomy for John? How soon?
Tomorrow? No good; too slow...
Now? Cool!
Tools, OK...spoon, hook, ...
Oblong slot, OK....
(Nobody look now...sort of gory...loss of blood...)
Ooops! * plop on floor *
Oh, God....SO gross...
OK! Now John's got control knobs! Look!
* works knob - John slows down; soon stops on spot, poor old sod *
A...E...I...O...U...Thequickbrownfoxjumpsoverthelazydog...
OK, you guys - normal alphabetic service has been resumed!

...maybe #4966 was actually a question?
* takes scalpel to a few donuts, slicing them in various planes *

Symmetry
Ignoring variations in fonts, the words are comprised of letters (when in CAPITALS) that are symmetrical as follows:
CHECKBOOK horizontally
(other letters = D, I and X)
HOMOTAXIA vertically
(other letters = U, V, W and Y)
ZOONOSIS 180º rotational
(other letters = H and X)
Although I have no idea where *Tyger Tyger* fits in

The next line goes
"what imortal hand or eye, framed thy fearful symemtry"
so my guess would be ... a clue
Easi Tyger
Platypus 2 Posted Feb 7, 2003
spellcheck
that should read
"what immortal hand or eye, framed thy fearful symmetry" (William Blake)

*thinks - zoonosis is a disease transmissable between animals and man*

Fearfully good six7s,
........the words are comprised of letters (when in CAPITALS) that are symmetrical.........
however there are other words with these properties. There is something about each of these words which makes them unique.
and I'm sure you'll find it before long.

loosehead Posted Feb 7, 2003
HOMOTAXIA, nine letters long, is the longest word in the English language composed entirely of letters with vertical symmetry in upper case.
ZOONOSIS, eight letters long, is the longest word in the English language composed of letters with 180 degree rotational symmetry.
But I am unable to balance my CHECKBOOK!
