Palindromes

2 New Palindromes

1- Was it a car or a cat I saw?

and

2- 1122211
The symmetry behind this one is interesting because while it is a fairly simple palindrome, it is the
solution of a palindrome divided by ANOTHER palindrome.  Specifically, 12344321 / 11.  These divided are both palindromic numbers, simple ones, and their result after division is another palindrome, so I thought that was kind of interesting.  Also while researching I ran across a hypothesis that any palindromic number with an even number of digits is divisible by 11, so think on that as well.
