The name Lucifer means "light bearer" (hence a match is known as a "lucifer"), and has none of the evil connotations of some of the devil's other names.

The 'evil connotation' is that it is used in the Bible (Isaish 14:12) to describe the king of Babylon, a devilish, though not supernatural, individual.

"...the fact that schoolmaster is a perfect anagram of the classroom is one of the very few facts that make me think that perhaps there is a God after all."

How about "Washington Crossing the Delaware" = "A Hard, Howling, Tossing Water Scene".

Anagrams (= "Ars Magna") might merit a separate thread.
