First result that comes up on the old Anagram Generator for "Mr Dollar Ton" is "Random Troll". No joke.

Terribly sorry to out you Mr Ton but I thought that was just too funny and you deserve recognition for your cleverness. People will forget and you may post again, I'll not reveal your secret twice. :-)

The last message should be something like "What hath God wrought", or an anagram of that like "Oh. Thwart what God hug".

If they released an Android phone with no extra shit, just plain old vanilla Android on their hardware I'd buy it, and I suspect many other old Nokia fans would.

You and me and ten million others. But Elop won't allow that kind of sanity.

I've just figured out who Elop is: The Old Man of the Sea from the voyages of Sinbad. He hops on Nokia's shoulders, clamps on like a barnacle, and uses them like a bitch till they drop dead.

This suddenly looks like a stoopid school prank. Has anyone else thought of anagrams?

Yep. Hilarious.

"haptics" is an anagram for "Caps Hit"

Cause, who wouldn't want to join a "A Road Rapists" social network, right?

VDM Publishing itself specializes in print of demand of various people's theses. Something like a vanity press, but as a bonus the authors don't have to pay anything, and VDM takes 80% of the earnings. These are sometimes weak offerings, and often available to download for free, but the practice itself is nothing out of the ordinary. So VDM Publishing's authors really are authors, but of theses and similar.

Alphascript and Betascript Publishing (and Fastbooks, in German) are the Wikipedia-aggregation publishers, imprints of (i.e., marketing names for) VDM Publishing. They entirely avoid the expense of looking around for theses and approaching authors, instead simply sucking related articles from Wikipedia. The book titles are goofy as a result, there are no authors, but the costs are miniscule. With a pool of a few hundred million unsuspecting customers exposed via Amazon and others, it just takes one out of every thousand to misstep to make for a profitable business, one that basically makes money off of people's ignorance. At least cigarettes offer nicotine in addition to lung cancer. To the people who argue, "well, you should just be aware of the problem", this sounds to me like smug "I'd never get fooled, I'm so smart" blather to me. Would you say the same if you were the one who bought such a book? Maybe you would, maybe you're the type of person who blames themselves for getting conned, but I blame the con man.

Speaking of blather, I'm sad that no one's commented on one of the Betascript "editors" names is Lambert M. Surhone, which the Internet Anagram Server turns into "Blather Summoner" as the first match, a great fit for the products offered. My original article on VDM mentions this and other fine anagrams.

One ray of sunshine is that giving these books 1-star ratings on Amazon does kick them down the lists. For example, I gave 1-star ratings to a number of their so-called books on Transnistria on Amazon. 3 of their books were the top three books listed on this subject on Amazon before I rated them, now they appear further down the list.

As far as other firms go, AbeBooks indeed sells Alphascript Publishing (45333) and Betascript Publishing (953) books. Oddly, they are all the same price (vs. those on Amazon, which appear to be priced by the pound), from a few different shops. Borders, to their credit, does not carry any Alphascript or Betascript books. Barnes and Noble does.

I will say one thing for VDM, they do add a tiny bit of value (beyond the wacked titles) in their choices of covers, e.g. this peculiar one for a book on legal disputes about Harry Potter.

Or, possibly they are just a bunch of special interest groups similar to the RIAA in the US.

I know it's strange, but I just had to go on-line and check out anagrams of "platypus." I was surprised to find that there were 42 including:

Splat Yup

Aptly Sup

Salty Pup

Lusty Pap

Stay Pulp

At Sly Pup

And my favorite: At Supply as in: Where did the platypus come from? There must have been a mix-up At Supply.

Sorry, it's not...but try again here.

Nope.

It's an anagram of "Puerile Bypassed Ones".

So, what cool keyword searches do people like to have?

• Dozens for a couple small sites I use.
• Queries for common DB queries using PhpMyAdmin on box. (for example, 'ecdbqid' for looking up eC user by id; localdb just for PhpMyAdmin on localhost.)
• demd5 for a reverse md5 lookup (+ demd5a through demd5c in case it's not found in the first database).
• de for http://www.dict.cc/?s=%25s
• e2 for Everything2
• ol for Onelook
• anagram for http://www.wordsmith.org/anagram/anagram.cgi?anagr am=%25s
• dns for http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/ptr.ch?ip=%25s
• Shortcuts for numerous Google searches, of course.
• rot13 for http://rot13.com/index.php?text=%25s
• ensv for http://www.tranexp.com:2000/InterTran?type=text&fr om=eng&to=swe&text=%25s (At some point, I intend to define keywords for all the combos, but I think I have to edit bookmarks.html directly to do that en masse.)

Does nothing for strings

ahhiiinnoooprrssssttt

It requires a material sacrifice.

Used in chess, you might be right, although even in chess it requires only the risk of a material loss, since a gambit can be declined.

Outside of chess its use is metaphorical and the dictionary definition includes:

2 a (1) : a remark intended to start a conversation or make a telling point
(2) : TOPIC b : a calculated move : STRATAGEM

Gambit comes from Spanish (gambito) or Italian (gambetto), where it means the act of tripping someone.

There are other words in English from chess terminology that mean something slightly different, e.g. stalemate, checkmate, and endgame. For some reason, zugzwang hasn't made the transition.

It raises the question of whether any other game has supplied English with as many words, or at least, as many words that have lost their original connection to the game. The fact chess terms have so many counterparts in life may be a reflection of the extent that chess resembles life.

Try some "Plays For Sure" anagrams:

I extracted "Think Geek" and "Fools" from the string, and fed the rest to an anagram generator

How about "Think Geek! A Shop of Lots"

from http://www.wordsmith.org/

Hmmm... if you rearrange "MSN IE DSL AOL" you get
"ALL IS DEMONS"
"SOLD ME SNAIL"
"ON MS DIES ALL"

Hint for young pranksters: Steal a page from the movie Sneakers. Recreate the target sign using Scrabble tiles. Rearrange the letters in private. Standing in front of a sign trying to think of a clever phrase will get you busted.

(But yes, both lists do have free online archives.)

The only funny anagrams I can find for "Doctor Charles Simonyi" are:

SLIMY CANCROID SHOOTER

I can't find any good ones for just "Charles Simonyi".
