Amazing Anagrams

Dear Tom and Ray,

Below is an e-mail list of anagrams that I recently received. I thought that you might enjoy the list as well.

An anagram, as we all know, is a word or phrase made by transposing or rearranging the letters of another word or phrase. I don't know who the author is, but I suspect you would know it if you ever get in a Scrabble game with that person.

Dormitory
Evangelist
Desperation
The Morse Code
Slot Machines
Animosity
Mother-in-law
Snooze Alarms
Alec Guinness
Semolina
The Public Art Galleries
A Decimal Point
The Earthquakes
Eleven plus two
Contradiction

Dirty Room
Evil's Agent
A Rope Ends It
Here Come Dots
Cash Lost in 'Em
Is No Amity
Woman Hitler
Alas! No More Z's
Genuine Class
Is No Meal
Large Picture Halls, I Bet
I'm a Dot in Place
That Queer Shake
Twelve plus one
Accord not in it

This one's 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."

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 the grand finale:
"That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind."

Anagram:
A thin man ran; makes a large stride, left planet, pins flag on moon! On to Mars!
