Palindrome trivia in honor of Palindrome Week

In the annals of pointless holidays (e.g., Pi Day, the time when I was in middle school when it was 1:23 and 45 seconds on 6/7/89), let us not overlook our present joyous occasion: We are in the midst of Palindrome Week. Yesterday was 4/14/14. Today is 4/15/14. Tomorrow is 4/16/14. And so on till Saturday: Every day's date is a palindrome—the same forward and backward. Monumental, right? Truly a whole-bunch-of-times-in-a-lifetime event.

To honor this most honor-worthy of happenings, behold a low-ago video puzzle I dug from the archives: "Trivial Palindromes Semordnilap Laivirt." Each statement can be rephrased as a palindromic phrase. For example: "The largest city in Poland had yet to be cooked" can be restated as "Warsaw was raw." Wow. Have at it, Bob.
