Anagrams


Dan Brown, PD James, my friend Jerome... and many others are fond of anagrams and word riddles. I have come across the following and found it quite interesting. They go beyond the simple reorganisation of the letters. The variation is not only accurate but also relevant. As a matter of fact, when when you rearrange the letters:


DORMITORY becomes DIRTY ROOM
DEBIT CARD becomes BAD CREDIT

PRESBYTERIAN becomes BEST IN PRAYER
ASTRONOMER becomes MOON STARER
DESPERATION becomes A ROPE ENDS IT!
THE EYES becomes THEY SEE
GEORGE BUSH becomes HE BUGS GORE
THE MORSE CODE becomes HERE COME DOTS
SLOT MACHINES becomes CASH LOST IN ME
ANIMOSITY becomes IS NO AMITY
ELECTION RESULTS becomes LIES - LET'S RECOUNT
SNOOZE ALARMS becomes ALAS! NO MORE Z 'S
A DECIMAL POINT becomes IM A DOT IN PLACE
THE EARTHQUAKES becomes THAT QUEER SHAKE
ELEVEN PLUS TWO becomes TWELVE PLUS ONE

So if you want to play with words, have a look at this site. Loads of anagrams, palindromes, oxymorons and other tongue twisters are waiting for you. Enjoy! And remember: "Sums are not set as a test on Erasmus". So forget figures and focus on words if you are looking for an international exposure ;-)
