So, I found this hilarious — to my nerdy brain, anyway — anagram engine on the internet. (Tip o’ the hat to my old grad school buddy, Doug Cohen for pointing it out to me.) It could, of course, be used for all kinds of things, but I started playing with the names of famous psychologists from the past. See if you can figure these out:
Jacket As Clement Elm
Laterally Halving Lens
Jail Law Mimes
Mud Hewn Twill
Wed Hen Joy
A Banjo Shrouds Town
Birches Drunken Furriers
A Charades Meltdown
A Fenced Shrove Got Hurt
(see below for answers)
You can do more of your own here:

And why is this post titled “Richly Goofy Shop Toys”? It’s an anagram for “History of Psychology.”
