On a more serious note...
Palindromic numbers:
123456787654321 / 11 = 11223344332211

Re: Aren't numbers amazing...
A curious variation on the 9 x tables.
Quote:
9 x 9 + 7 = 88
98 x 9 + 6 = 888
987 x 9 + 5 = 8888
9876 x 9 + 4 = 88888
98765 x 9 + 3 = 888888
987654 x 9 + 2 = 8888888
9876543 x 9 + 1 = 88888888
98765432 x 9 + 0 = 888888888
