Hi there, Danny here. I received an email a while ago from a mate, I*ll now pass it on I thought it very clever. The word ASTRONOMER when you rearrange the letters it reads MOON STARER. THE EYES when you rearrange the letters it says THEY SEE. The next one, I hope I*m not boring you yet, THE MORSE CODE becomes HERE COME DOTS. A DECIMAL POINT becomes IM A DOT IN PLACE. SLOT MACHINES-CASH LOST IN ME. and lastly ELECTION RESULTS-LIES LETS RECOUNT. All I can say is that the original thinker of these had too much time on their hands or they were deadly at scrabble.  |

I*m back again, that was a good one Carol but thats called a pallindrome a word thats spelled the same backwds as frdwds. That was also a good try Aussietrekker, but you can only use the letters of the word once.Here are a few more to bore you with; presbytarian = BEST IN PRAYER. Dormitory= DIRTY ROOM. Desperation=A ROPE ENDS IT. George Bush=HE BUGS GORE. Eleven plus two=TWELVE PLUS ONE. And last but not least; Snooze alarms=ALAS NO MORE Z*S. I will never again bore you with this stuff again. thanks Len for putting up with me. |
