      From: jpewther@aol.com              Phil said:       > Harvey Weinstein       > Shave tiny wiener              Terrific answer to my implied question, Phil! After noticing that the first       five letters of "Weinstein" can spell "swine," I found this next one by hand:       Harvey Weinstein = Inter heavy swine.              "Inter" usually means "bury in a grave or tomb", but I saw one source that       said it can mean "put away." However, after doing more checking, I think       that's just the same old meaning: "put away in a grave or tomb."              So my new anagram seems awfully harsh to poor Harvey, if people decide to       inter him while he still lives. However, the anagram would make a very       fitting epitaph to be engraved on his tombstone, once he dies.              It also occurred to me that we could sarcastically alter Harvey's name, making       it "Heavy Swinestein," for the benefit of those have no appreciation for       anagrams. I wanted to see whether anyone on the Web had already done this, so       I Googled searched for        this exact string of letters, by including the quotation marks. And while       Google informed me that there were no results, it was smart enough to ask,       "Did you mean Harvey Weinstein?"              In case people are wondering what the two deleted posts above this one were, I       was just editing this post and adding a little each time.               Jud              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
