Anagrams!

I'm pretty sure all of you who are reading my blog would have definitely watched The daVinci Code already by now! Heck! Even I have watched it twice(First time, bought tickets, second time I won tickets) Hehe..

But did you know that Dan Brown actually came up with another book with Robert Langdon as the main character before The daVinci Code came out? It was called Angels & Demons! Yeaps! And to those of you not in the know, Angels and Demons was about...what?...

YEAP! You guessed it! Anagrams! Now before the existence of Angels and Demons, I didn't freaking knew a damn thing let alone knew that the word Anagram existed. BUT after reading the book, I finally know and gained some new knowledge as to what on earth Anagrams are. So you see, Anagrams are words that can be rearranged to form another word! YES! I mean different W-O-R-D! Don't get me? Read this! I got this off from a friend! Thanks Sherrie for sharing!!!!

Cool huh!? And the best part of it is that it makes sense!!!

*Update*

Anagrams are actually words that can be rearranged to form new words! That was used in The daVinci Code! However, in Angels & Demons, they were using ambigrams instead!
I'm so sorry for the cock-up! But nevertheless, thanks to grace who "indirectly" spotted the mistake for me!!

yeps, anagrams are cool.

but ambigrams are cooler =D
they're also found in dan brown's books.. words designed to read the same even when seen upside-down.
i find em damn pretty obsessing =P

yeaps..
when you mentioned ambigrams are cooler..
i checked my angels and demons book and found out that it was actually called ambigrams...
i may not be wrong in the sense that what i posted are actually anagrams..but it's what i wrote that led up to the anagrams that was wrong if you read it again.
i was describing about anagrams from the angels and demons book. and that's where i got it wrong. :P
