ANAGRAMS

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

 

 

 

Anagram (AN-uh-gram)    noun: A word or phrase formed by rearranging the letters of another word or phrase.  verb: To rearrange letters in such a way. To anagrammatize.    [From Greek anagrammatismos, ana- (up, again, back, new) + -gram (letter).

 Examples of Anagrams:

Sherlock Homes = Crooks Hell Mesh

Dormitory = Dirty Room

Dictionary = Indicatory

Schoolmaster = The classroom

Elvis = Lives

Listen = Silent

Clint Eastwood = Old West Action

Mother-in-law = Woman Hitler

President Barack Hussein Obama: a maniac presides. the banks rob u

William Shakespeare: I’ll make a wise phrase

Jay Leno: Enjoy L.A.

Gene Simmons: Immense Song

Motley Crue: Me Cruel Toy

The Morse Code = Here Come Dots

The eyes = They see

Barbie doll = Liberal bod

Here are some practical uses of anagrams:

Informal encryption  Replace each word (or line) of your document with its anagram. Of course, it doesn’t give you military-grade encryption but for most informal applications, anagrams are serviceable.

Also Newton supposedly used an anagram in describing calculus in a letter to Leibniz. See this and the book A Passion for Mathematics: Numbers, Puzzles, Madness, Religion, and the Quest for Reality (page 30).

Generating passwords  It’s a good idea to have a separate password for each email account, online account, etc. What’s difficult is having to remember all those passwords. Try using various anagrams of your favorite word or phrase as passwords.

Generating mnemonics
Divination  Not sure of the best course of action? Whether to major in computer science or in philosophy at college… whether to start a comics store or a pet-sitting business? Let anagrams serve as your oracle. For example, if your name is Joe Smith, try anagramming “Joe Smith philosophy” and “Joe Smith computer science”, and see what anagrams divine for you. Try these tips for finding great anagrams.

Securely recording secret numbers (by Brian Thompson)  Never keep a copy of your pin number, membership number, online banking pass number … So we are advised. I find it impossible to remember strings of numbers, but like most people, I find that a memorable phrase is easily recalled. Your number is tied to a phrase (Subject) which is anagrammed. The resulting permutation of the number string may then be written down with the Subject. You need only remember the anagram!

10 QUINTILLION ALIENS ON EARTH!

Here is photographic PROOF that aliens have invaded Earth!  It has long been recognized and documented that insects are the most diverse group of organisms, meaning that the numbers of species of insects are more than any other group. In the world, some 900 thousand different kinds of living insects are known. This representation approximates 80 percent of the world’s species. The true figure of living species of insects can only be estimated from present and past studies. Most authorities agree that there are more insect species that have not been described (named by science) than there are insect species that have been previously named. Conservative estimates suggest that this figure is 2 million, but estimates extend to 30 million. In the last decade, much attention has been given to the entomofauna that exists in the canopies of tropical forests of the world. From studies conducted by Terry Erwin of the Smithsonian Institution’s Department of Entomology in Latin American forest canopies, the number of living species of insects has been estimated to be 30 million. Insects also probably have the largest biomass of the terrestrial animals. At any time, it is estimated that there are some 10 quintillion (10,000,000,000,000,000,000) individual insects alive.

RIGHT IS MIGHTTOTALITARIAN CREDO: “History is written by the victors”

Plato’s The Republic (380 BCE) claims that “justice is nothing else than the interest of the stronger”.   This is the maxim of The Physical Universe.  The entire history of humans on Earth is a demonstration of this fundamental principle.  Altruism, egalitarianism, love, beneficence, and kindness have forever been overwhelmed and trampled in the dust of the brutal force of armies.  “Right” and “Wrong” are the same is “Strong” and “Weak” in the physical universe.  If you are seeking a “loving” moral code, you must find it within yourself.  It does not exist in the physical universe.
