ANAGRAMS

Cory Calhoun is the creator of the so-called "Hamlet Anagram," in which he took the following famous three lines-

"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..."

and anagrammed their letters into the following:

"In one of the Bard's best-thought-of tragedies, our insistent hero, Hamlet, queries on two fronts about how life turns rotten."

I love some people's brainis!

"Ars Magna," which means "great art" in Latin, is an anagram of the word "anagrams." Enter into the obsessive and fascinating world of anagrams with Cory Calhoun, who took the first three lines of Hamlet's "To Be or Not to Be" soliloquy and made them into what's been called the "world's greatest anagram."
it's only 8 min long. WATCH IT!
