Anagrams

An anagram, as you probably know, is a word or phrase made by transposing or rearranging the letters of another word or phrase. The following are exceptionally clever.

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
Princess Diana ..... Ascend in Paris

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 a man, one giant leap for mankind." The Anagram: "Thin man ran; makes a large stride, left planet, pins flag on moon! On to Mars!"
