Hi guys.... Picked this up from another list of aggressively literate
types.... enjoy... happy holiday weekend!
>>begin quote
An Anagram, as we all know, is a word or phrase made by transposing
or rearranging the letters of another word or phrase. The following
examples
are quite astounding:
Dormitory == Dirty Room
Evangelist == Evil's Agent
Desperation == A Rope Ends It
The Morse Code == Here Come Dots
Slot Machines == Cash Lost in 'em
Animosity == Is No Amity
Snooze Alarms == Alas! No More Z's
Alec Guinness == Genuine Class
Semolina == Is No Meal
The Public Art Galleries == Large Picture Halls, I Bet
A Decimal Point == I'm a Dot in Place
The Earthquakes == That Queer Shake
Eleven plus two == Twelve plus one
Contradiction == Accord not in it
This one's amazing: [From Hamlet by Shakespeare]
To be or not to be: that is the question, whether 'tis nobler in the mind to
suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune.....
becomes:
In one of the Bard's best-thought-of tragedies, our insistent hero, Hamlet,
queries on two fronts about how life turns rotten.....
And the grand finale:
"That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind." -- Neil A.
Armstrong becomes:
A thin man ran; makes a large stride; left planet, pins flag on moon! On to
Mars!
