The Mockingbird Croaks

Was it today morning I wrote here I won’t be seen here for a while? Well, let me eat my words. Needed a break from work, checked my inbox and found this list of anagrams:

· Dormitory - Dirty Room
· Desperation - A Rope Ends It
· The Morse Code - Here Come Dots
· Slot Machines - Cash Lost in 'em
· Animosity - Is No Amity
· Mother-in-law - Woman Hitler
· Snooze Alarms - Alas! No More Z's
· Alec Guinness - Genuine Class
· Semolina - Is No Meal
· A Decimal Point - I'm a Dot in Place
· The Earthquakes - That Queer Shake
· Eleven plus two - Twelve plus one
· Contradiction - Accord not in it
· The Public Art Galleries - Large Picture Halls, I Bet
· Astronomer - Moon Starer

This one's amazing:

[From Hamlet by Shakespeare] To be or not to be: that is the question, whether tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune.

becomes:

In one of the Bard's best-thought-of tragedies, our insistent hero, Hamlet, queries on two fronts about how life turns rotten.

And the grand finale: "That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind." - Neil A. Armstrong

becomes:

A thin man ran; makes a large stride; left planet, pins flag on moon! On to Mars!
