It is palindromic near enough everything you multiply it by. our maths teacher said that he loves it because it is 7 x 11 x 13 so if you tell a kid to times any number on his calculator by 7 then 11 then 13, you always get a palindromic number. at least i think...

    You want some numbers?
Here's a nice formula  first derived by Euler:    e^(i*pi) + 1 = 0   :P

it uses most of the fundamental numbers/constants in mathematics (except phi).

i = square root of -1, 
e is e,
 pi  is ratio of circle's circimference to diameter

^ is exponentiate
* is multiply

Hey, I didn't start this discussion. :D

I think that only works for numbers 1-9 and 11 and 111 and 1111, etc.

Other numbers are close to being palindromic, but are off by at least 1 digit, for example, 10 x 7 x 11 x 13 = 10010 (one digit is misplaced).

OH, reason after reason, but I suppose not very smart ones..  Just mostly, it's the number of the Trinity, I and its how many times I'll try something that seems impossible..  In my brain it's man's number of perfection.

AND I had to reply to this because when I looked at the post, it had 30 replies and had been read exactly 333 times.  Whoa.  = )
