- Nice, but I thought "Voltaire" was itself an anagram of his actual
- last name, "Arouet l.j." (l.j. = Jr., and using the old convention
- that i=j and u=v in anagrams). Did he ever call himself "Francois
- Marie Arouet Voltaire"?
-
- While I'm at it, are use producing these lists of anagrams by hand
- from scratch, or culling them from some kind of anagram program?
