Here Come Dots September 10, 2004

Somewhere in the vast recesses of my brain, I recall once reading that the term Morse Code was an anagram of here come dots. Try it for yourself if you don’t believe me.
Anagrams are not the sort of things I usually waste my time musing upon, they’re just coincidental ramblings that don’t mean much, or so I thought.
The following anagrams were brought to my attention today, and they make me wonder if perhaps anagrams aren’t so coincidental at all. See what you think:-
Mother-in-law – Woman Hitler
Okay, you’re thinking that this was just a lucky one. Besides my Mother-in-law is an angel so it doesn’t count. Well here is this one:-
A Decimal Point – I’m a Dot in Place
Neat eh? And then there is:-
Eleven plus two – Twelve plus one
Slot Machines – Cash Lost in’em
You’re impressed so far, I can tell, well then try these names on for size:-
Madame Curie – Me, Radium ace
Clint Eastwood – Old West action
Susan Sarandon – O no! Sans anus (some would say this sums her up nicely)
Charles Lutwidge Dodgson – Select odd words, laughing
Marie Osmond – Mormon ideas
Britney Spears – Bray, siren pest
Naomi Campbell – Blame, complain
At this point I was wondering if perhaps anagrams worked on some hidden order within the universe. Then I saw the following and I was convinced:–
Camilla Parker Bowles – Workable caramel lips
Finally, to satisfy the even the last of the doubting Thomases, I leave you with:-
Elvis - Lives
How can “Morse Code” be an anagram of “here come dots”
Where is the “h” in “Morse Code?”
I think the anagram should be;
The Morse Code = Here come dots
I’m doing a Kryptos Anagram contest if anyone is interested.
