Anagrams with co-incidences?

I love finding anagrams like these

BEAUTY AND THE BEAST - A stud beneath, ya bet!

DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES - We are devious She-pets.

A CLOCKWORK ORANGE - Kook crew go carnal

GOLDILOCKS AND THE THREE BEARS - Girl had cereals, then took beds. ( This one is just too wierd)

THE SOPRANOS - A person shot

SOUTH PARK - OK, trash up

HOW THE WEST WAS WON - What we shot we owns.

Interesting - I like Palindromic words like... DAD, MOM, NOON and RACECAR they are the same word frontwards and backwards... There are quite a few of them! I found another one the other day randomly - have to think what it was....

I too like palindromes, my favourite being what Napolean said when asked if he could have defeated the British: "Able was I ere I saw Elba"
I also like the one used to describe Ferdinand de Lesseps who started the Panama Canal: "A man a plan a canal panama"

The other thing I find interesting, are the "artists" that can make two words out of one. Not sure how to describe this, but in the Book Angels & Demons, there were 4 words in the design.

If could get someone to meld my & wifes names, I would consider that a cool tattoo.

These are great,


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.



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?



1. 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?


2. 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!



'That's one small step for a man; one giant leap for mankind.' Neil Armstrong



A thin man ran... makes a large stride... left planet... pins flag on moon... on to Mars!



And a homage to Dylan cracker from Weird Al
