AnalPhilosopher

“[I]t is ambition enough to be employed as an under-labourer in clearing the ground a little,
and removing some of the rubbish that lies in the way to knowledge.” —John Locke, 1689

“[P]hilosophy can no more show a man what he should attach importance to
than geometry can show a man where he should stand.” —Peter Winch, 1968

Anagrams

An anagram is a word or phrase made by transposing or rearranging the letters of another word or phrase. The following are exceptionally clever. Someone out there either has way too much time or is deadly at Scrabble.

dormitory / dirty room
evangelist / evil's agent
desperation / a rope ends it
the Morse code / here come dots
slot machines / cash lost in 'em
animosity / is no amity
mother in law / woman Hitler
snooze alarms / alas! no more Z's
Alec Guinness / genuine class
semolina / is no meal
the public art galleries / large picture halls, I bet
a decimal point / I'm a dot in place
the earthquakes / that queer shake
eleven plus two / twelve plus one
contradiction / accord not in it

This one's truly amazing:

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.

And the anagram:

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

And for the grand finale:

That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.

The anagram:

Thin man ran; makes a large stride, left planet, pins flag on moon! On to Mars!
