Anagrams

An Anagram, as you know, is a word or phrase made by transposing or
rearranging the letters of another word or phrase. The following are
exceptionally clever. Someone out there either has way too much time to
waste or is deadly at Scrabble...

Dormitory . . . . . . . . Dirty Room (also "Roomy Dirt")
Desperation . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . A Rope Ends It
The Morse Code . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Here Come Dots
Slot Machines . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Cash Lost in 'em
Mother-in-law . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Woman Hitler
The Public Art Galleries . . . Large Picture Halls, I Bet
A Decimal Point . . . . . . . . . . . .I'm a Dot in Place
The Earthquakes . . . . . . . . . . . . .That Queer Shake
Eleven plus two . . . . . . . . . . . . . Twelve plus one
Contradiction . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Accord not in it
Princess Diana . . . . . .Ascend in Paris (freaky, huh?)

This one's truly amazing:
"That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind"
(from Neil Armstrong). The Anagram?
"Thin man ran; makes a large stride, left planet, pins flag on moon! On to
Mars!"

And for the grand finale:
"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"
(by William Shakespeare). And the Anagram?
"In one of the Bard's best-thought-of tragedies, our insistent hero,
Hamlet, queries
on two fronts about how life turns rotten."
