we all known desserts = stressed
Veni, vidi, vici "I came, I saw, I conquered."

A lot of people are afraid of heights. Not me. I'm afraid of widths.

Ambigram is a graphical word that reads the same when you flip it 180 degrees.

Palindrome is a word that reads the same forward and backward. If read forward and backwards give a different word, then it is a semordnilap (which incidentally is palindrome read backword!)

From wiki:
stressed / desserts
samaroid (resembling a samara) / dioramas
rewarder / redrawer
departer / retraped
reporter / retroper

Other examples include:
gateman / nametag
deliver / reviled
lamina / animal
dennis / sinned
straw / warts
star / rats
stop / pots
snap / pans
pins / snip
lived / devil
diaper / repaid
smart / trams
spit / tips
live / evil
dog / god
gut / tug
maps / spam
war / raw
was / saw
trap / part

Way Of The Dragon: From a distance - 20 paddlers move in perfect rhythm to a muted drum beat, gracefully skimming the water's surface. Up close - determined grunts and strained sinews with oars in grip, dig vigorously into the water. The majestic head of the dragon fronts this contraption but the real heart lies just behind it, at the apex of the bow. Like a conductor of an orchestra, the drummer leads his crew with the calculated beat of his drum. Such is the realm of dragon boating.
