Loved and thought himself beloved,
From a glad kindness cannot take his eyes.

There's an anagramming website somewhere out there, or was, which will randomize the letters in a word you put in, compare all permutations against a lexicon or real words, and output a list of the matches.
And now there was no doubt that the trees were really moving - moving in and out through one another as if in a complicated country dance. ('And I suppose,' thought Lucy, 'when trees dance, it must be a very, very country dance indeed.')

I went to one of those anagram websites and I put my first and last name in and the best thing that came out was "one icy hamster". I love thinking of myself as an icy hamster, for some reason. :lol:

In a column on exploding urinals (a followup to a few columns about exploding cows), around 1991, Dave Barry had this line: "Did you know that the letters of Paul E. Tsongas can be rearranged to spell Gaseous Plant?"

My full name came out as "Serenity or Warmly."

I typed in George Walker Bush and got "Blush, War geek ogre."
I eliminated the 'Walker' and it came out as "O, he buggers!" :lol: :lol:
John Kerry came out as "Horny Jerk." :lol: :lol:
I put in Pat Robertson and got "Breast to lichen."
Hannibal Lecter works out to be "Enchant Liberal."

This one was great though....
Tom Cruise is "I'm so cuter!"
