[plug] Anagrams things...

[Bret Busby]

Aaaargh! Help!

Wot? Only 26**3 acronyms?

That's possibly more words than in the common component of the english
language!

Perhaps we need a pacman type creature, to eat all the acronyms...

It hadn't occurred to me to use a search engine, to translate.

I certainly got that one wrong! Anagrams are completely different, and,
acronym is not in the Shorter Oxford Dictionary. Must be a computer
generated image (or nightmare!).
