To follow my "Nice #s" thread, one on nice anagrams.

For example, one of the few things that have ever made me think there might really be a God after all is the fact that

    SCHOOLMASTER

is a perfect anagram of

    THE CLASSROOM

And one I remember from a while ago - created by Auraucaria, the Guardian's famous crossword compiler. From a Christmas puzzle:

"O hark the herald angels sing the boy's descent which lifted up the world";

The solution was: "While shepherds watched their flocks by night, all seated on the ground."

When I worked for certain major computer firm the european HQ, where all the big bosses were, was in Uxbridge - an anagram of which is Big Durex. And we all know what you'd find in a big durex...

Pete

PS. I don't know if non-UK 'catters will know of Durex - they make condoms and the brand name is synonymous with the product.

Found elsewhere on the net:-


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...

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

Two more on the same subject:-

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, or to take arms against a sea of troubles and by opposing, end them?

Is a befitting quote from one of Shakespeare's greatest tragedies? But why won't Hamlet's inspiring motto toss our stubborn hero's tortuous battle for life, on one hand, and death, on another?

or


I wrote all of Shakespeare's plays, and the wife and I got together, did most of his sonnets for our entertainment. But tormentors oft attribute that our brash quotes as being bogus. O! No! No! No!
