I thought you guys and gals would enjoy these.
An Anagram, as you all know, is a word or phrase made by transposing or
rearranging the letters of another word or phrase. The following are
exceptionally clever. Someone out there has way too much time on their
hands. (Which means they are probably not a scouter!)
The kids love stuff like this.
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
Mother-in-law ------------ Woman Hitler
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 truly amazing:
"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."
And the Anagram is:
"In one of the Bard's best-thought-of tragedies,
our insistent hero, Hamlet, queries on two fronts
about how life turns rotten."
