Anagrams

 [colorful rounded image of the Head of a GNU]

An Anagram, as you all know, is a word or phrase made by transposing or
rearranging the letters of another word or phrase. The following are
exceptionally clever. Someone out there either has way too much time to
waste or is deadly at Scrabble.

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                End is a car spin

Year Two Thousand             A year to shut down

This one's truly amazing:
"To be or not to be: that is the question, whether its 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." Neil
Armstrong
The Anagram:
"A thin man ran; makes a large stride, left planet, pins flag on moon!
On to Mars!"

Nope, one more!
The following phrase is a perfect anagram to start the impeachment
trial:
PRESIDENT CLINTON OF THE USA
The Anagram:
TO COPULATE HE FINDS INTERNS
