According to the principles of Anagranalysis- the divination of a person's character by anagrams of his name- President Barack Hussein Obama has an interesting personality.

He is a serious patriot, as befits a President, though perhaps leaning a little to the left:

He's a sad, sober, but pink American

He may not be a gastronome:

Rabbit pie and mash? One's a sucker!

But he promises solutions to problems in the Middle East:

Top man cures Arabian bike sheds

There's a starter for you. No cut and paste from those dull, undiscriminatory anagram programs please! Every one hand crafted.

With all due respect, the premises of such an assertion lie far beyond comprehensibility. It requires hard coupling between such disparate elements--character, genetics, arbitrary phonetic combinations, arbitrary symbol systems, arbitrary agreements on spelling -- that there is no way to conceive that a chain of causal links could possibly exist.

Paul, I think you have vividly demonstrated the reliability of divining anything of value from anagrams of a name or anything else. Thanks.

Beats the Bible Code and Nostradamus hands down ANNY day! I've known it to be The Truth ever since it revealed Isambard Kingdom Brunel (Britain's greatest engineer, French of course) as man making rubber dildos.

Rubber dildos are a useful product...possibly more useful than a gigantic ship with multiple masts, paddle wheels, and a propellor, but which cannot turn a profit.

Soma: "In the Vedas, Soma is portrayed as sacred and as a god (deva). The god, the drink and the plant probably referred to the same entity, or at least the differentiation was ambiguous. In this aspect, Soma is similar to the Greek ambrosia (cognate to amrita); it is what the gods drink, and what made them deities. Indra and Agni are portrayed as consuming Soma in copious quantities. The consumption of Soma by human beings is probably under the belief that it bestowes divine qualities on them."

QUite so. Perhaps there is something to this anagram business, after all. ;>)

possibly more useful than a gigantic ship with multiple masts, paddle wheels, and a propellor, but which cannot turn a profit.

It laid the first Atlantic telegraph cable though, its ability to move very slowly forward while maintaining steerage (props forward, paddles reverse) being one of the crucial factors. It was also the only ship at the time big enough to hold the whole cable.

In a previous Sarah Palin thread I posted this:

I see that there is a letter in the latest Private Eye (but that's not the latest issue online) from an observant reader, who has noticed that "Sarah Palin Vice President" is in fact an anagram of "Is perhaps devil incarnate".
