Anagrams

[Bill Markwick]

An anagram is a word for phrase made by rearranging the letters of another word or phrase. When it comes to composers, for instance, Johannes Brahms becomes "Hans J. Hambone, Sr".

Antonio Salieri could be the metaphorical "Sonatina oiler, I" or the more mundane "I air no toenails".

And given that Johann Sebastian Bach was as prolific with children as with music, his could be "John, Ana - a Bach bassinet".

With post-processing, it's easy (well, sometimes) to do photographic anagrams, such as:

Bill, what a brilliant Idea and process. Very clever. I will have to try my hand at that. Tell me, how long did you slave at your computer to process this? Did you think up the anagrams yourself or did you use a computer program that automatically rearranges the words for you ??? :D

Thanks! It took me about a morning to do those six. It turned out to be somewhat harder than I thought - some of my typography is pretty wobbly, but it'll do for a joke. :)

I made up most of them, but when inspiration failed, I used my favorite anagram generator:
