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 ~Michael~ |

13 Oct 11 - 03:45 PM (#3238520) Subject: RE: BS: Nice anagrams From: Newport Boy 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."

14 Oct 11 - 12:55 PM (#3238944) Subject: RE: BS: Nice anagrams From: Doug Chadwick 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! DC |
