What I learn from Anagramatron
Aug. 15th, 2013 02:17 amWhat I learn from Anagramatron is that there are lots of really good anagrams of naturally-occurring (and therefore natural-sounding) sentences—like, I'm talking quality almost on the level of classics like DORMITORY / DIRTY ROOM and THE MORSE CODE / HERE COME DOTS—just waiting for the power of the massive corpus afforded by the Internet to be discovered:
Me, I never forget /
Time for revenge!
Overslept again /
I love great naps
I'm learning how to skate /
So I am not walking there
I crave something new /
He never saw it coming
Can't do that shit no more /
Come on! It's not that hard!
I'm not sure about this feeling /
I mean it hurts but life goes on
Tongue pierced or tattoo? /
To get a pedicure or to not?
You pick some real winners /
I swear I'm one lucky person
Motivation energy /
No more negativity
Presumably the probability that any given sentence will have an apropos anagram is still pretty low, but now we have the technology to find the ones that do. And that's pretty cool.
