(Some people have entirely too much time on their hands!!!)

Even if you are not interested in Anagrams, these get more amazing the
farther down the list you go.

An Anagram, as you all know, is a word or phrase made by transposing
or rearranging the letters of another word or phrase.  No letters can
be used twice or left out.

The following ones are exceptionally clever (someone out there either
has *way* too much time on their hands or is deadly at Scrabble):

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

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 is *truly* amazing:

"To be or not to be: that is the question, whether its nobler in the
mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune."

ANAGRAM:

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


And for a contemporary one:

"That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind."
(Neil Armstrong, on the moon)

ANAGRAM:

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

And a final one, a perfect accompaniment to the impeachment trial: 

 "President Clinton, of the USA"

ANAGRAM:

"To copulate, he finds interns"
