Anagrams

By John "Birdman" Bryant

"All life's wisdom can be found in anagrams. Anagrams never lie." --Internet Anagram Server

 

According to the Wikipedia,

"The construction of anagrams is an amusement of great antiquity. Jews are often credited with the invention of anagrams, probably because later Hebrew writers, particularly Kabbalists, were fond of it, asserting that "secret mysteries are woven in the numbers of letters.""

While I am not exactly a Kabbalist, I am fascinated with the anagrams that come out of the anagram machine at

http://www.wordsmith.org/anagram/index.html

While many names and phrases have thousands of anagrams, and thus an exhaustive check would be, well, exhausting, nevertheless one may take a sample of sorts by looking at the first part of the listing produced by the machine, and this will give one a feeling for whether the relevant anagrams will be positive, negative or neutral. The obvious question here is, Is the subconscious mind influencing the choices, or are the Kabbalists right that there is 'something in' anagrams? I do not pretend to know, but I do not shut my mind to either possibility. Here are sampling results for my own presumably-neutral investigations of several well-known names and phrases:
