Thanks. The word bodkin came up in a word a day type e-mail I get and it got me musing on this subject (and thinking about the Music Man and the old episode of the Twilight Zone where the traveling salesman fools death w/his sales pitch)

Oh! Wordsmith? I get those e-mails, too--and I'm a huge fan of the Internet Anagram Server.

That's the one! I love the Anagram Times too. Also just read "The Dord, The Diglot, and an Avacado or Two: The Hidden Lives and Strange Origins of Common and Not-So-Common Words" by Anu Garg the page's creator. Very fun book.
