Hey! Diana, what’s an anagram?
Those who enjoyed the palindrome in the last issue may find these anagrams (thanks to Diana Ang of Biology Dept) interesting too. An anagram is a word or phrase made by rearranging the letters of another word or phrase.
(Someone out there either has way too much time to waste or is deadly at Scrabble.) Rearrange the letters …..
Dormitory —Dirty Room
The Morse Code —Here come Dots
Slot Machines —Cash Lost in ‘em
Animosity —Is No Amity
The Public Art Galleries —Large Picture Halls, I Bet
A Decimal Point —I’m a Dot in Place
Eleven plus two —Twelve plus one
Contradiction —Accord not in it
Incidentally, Diana, if you can arrange the same letters of an anagram one more time, would it be called a Di-ana-gram?

I’m doing a Kryptos Anagram contest if anyone is interested.
