To the land of 14-year-old UNIX wizards, no doubt,
where the supreme ruler is Daniel Drucker. Speaking
of which, here are...
...THE TOP TEN ANAGRAMS OF "Daniel Drucker":
10. Dicked Earl? Run!
9. A dried clunker
8. Red deck urinal
7. Dear Uncle Dirk
6. Unclear kidder
5. Rekindled a cur
4. A kindred ulcer
3. Naked cur idler
2. Lurid, cankered
AND THE NUMBER ONE ANAGRAM OF "Daniel Drucker" IS:
1. Dick launderer
I think I'll email Danny-boy at xyzzy@gnu.ai.mit.edu
and suggest that he add these to his already long .plan file.
