Via the Shakespeare Geek<\/a>, we find an “amazing anagram” (which I have to say I never bothered to check):<\/p>\n

\n

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.<\/p>\n

Becomes:<\/p>\n

In one of the Bard’s best-thought-of tragedies, our insistent hero, Hamlet, queries on two fronts about how life turns rotten.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

What well-known Shakespearean phrases can be anagramed from the following?<\/em><\/p>\n

  2. Icky Backwashes Uncrowned Lord<\/li>\n
  3. Haberdasher Elf Slots Low Motto<\/li>\n
  4. Embrace Incoherent Hoot<\/li>\n
  5. Many Mourned Scorn Snifter<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    By the way, ShakespeareTeacher.com anagrams out to Search Peacemaker Ethos. I think that’s appropriate.<\/p>\n

    UPDATE: Anagram 2 solved by Annalisa. See comments for all answers. <\/p>\n
