anagrams

[David Hamer]

I thought I'd pass along some anagrams that I came across last week..

Word/Phrase Anagram

Dormitory Dirty Room
Evangelist Evil's Agent
Desperation A Rope Ends It
The Morse Code Here Come Dots
Slot Machines Cash Lost in 'em
Mother-in-law Woman Hitler
A Decimal Point I'm a Dot in Place
The Earthquakes That Queer Shake
Eleven plus two Twelve plus one
President Clinton of the USA To copulate, he finds interns

This one is truly amazing:
To be or not to be: that is the question, whether it's nobler
in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune.

Anagrams to:
In one of the Bard's best-thought-of tragedies, our insistent hero,
Hamlet, queries on two fronts about how life turns rotten.

And to add to the theme:

Animosity Is No Amity
Snooze Alarms Alas! No more Z's
Alec Guinness Genuine Class
Semolina Is no meal (one for ex-English
school children, methinks)
The Public art Galleries Large picture halls, I bet.
Contradiction Accord not in it

Contrived, I agree, but fun!!

And Finally.....

"That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind." Neil
Armstrong

Goes to....

"Thin man ran; makes a large stride, left planet, pins flag on moon! On
to Mars!"

Good night.

There's a huge (several thousand), searchable archive of such anagrams
at:

http://www.anagramgenius.com/

There's also a group, alt.anagrams, that is more suited than
rec.puzzles.crosswords for this.

This list has been circulating for years; I get it by e-mail every
month or two. I'm replying to give sources for the two anagrams
at the end, which are recent additions (some versions of the
list also include a long 'one step for a man...' anagram).

The 'President Clinton of the USA' anagram is by Wrybosh
(Martin Eiger) in the November 1998 issue of *The Enigma*
(publication of the National Puzzlers' League).

The 'To be or not to be' anagram is attributed to Cory Calhoun
in the 'Anagram Hall of Fame' page at
http://www.wordsmith.org/anagram/hof.html. The earliest
newsgroup reference to it that I've found is alt.anagrams on 23
Feb 1998. Larry Brash one-upped it in a.a. that June.

Are there, I wonder, any anagrams of a palandromic phrase like 'Able was I
ere I saw Elba' which relate to the original? If the anagram was also
palandromic this would, of course, be even better.
