Anagrams

An anagram is rearnging the letters of a name or phrase into a new configuration for example, Elvis = Lives. Ancients believed at one time this was an art form, at others a type of magic. Some leaders had royal anagrammers who would find out which applicants names anagrammed the most favorably. People then started naming their kids using anagrams of powerful words. Today it is only a word game.

Trey Laminack becomes "Tame crankily"

Associate Children's Minister = "Idiotical merriness chastens."

Las Vegas, Nevada = "Slave and savage"

Here's a link - Unfortunately it only gives you one solution when there are thousands.

There are thousands of examples on the net of good anagrams for celebs and famous people. What does you name become?

My all time fav anagram is this 14 line poem wherein every line is an anagram of the title. I think this falls under art because the same letters are always used and the lines rhyme!

"Washington Crossing the Delaware"

A hard, howling, tossing water scene:
Strong tide was washing hero clean.
"How cold!" Weather stings as in anger.
O Silent night shows war ace danger!

The cold waters swashing on in rage.
Redcoats warn slow his hint engage.
When star general's action wish'd "Go!"
He saw his ragged continentals row.

Ah, he stands - sailor crew went going,
And so this general watches rowing.
He hastens - winter again grows cold;
A wet crew gain Hessian stronghold.

George can't lose war with's hands in;
He's astern - so, go alight, crew, and win!

I think that's pretty cool. Try making an anagram without using the internet. It's tough. I'm reading the Da Vinci Code and it has a lot of anagram stuff in it.
