According to the Batman episode that I just watched, the answer is Age.
Yes, but catherine beat you to the answer. AJ

Dangit! Well, at least I know Batman has not steered me wrong - too funny that I was just watching an episode while reading some of the posts and this very question was answered. Otherwise, I would have answered my mother's blood pressure, b/c the lady is always worried about something and can't figure out how to get her pressure under control. Go figure.

Funny how things like that happen, with exception to your mothers blood presure. AJ

You folks have to be kidding, I have a hard time with spelling let alone finding the title of the thing.

Answer:
"Here come dots"
Clue: three words, the beginning letters of each word are, "T," "M," and "C."
It makes sense.

How to anagram by hand (spelling counts):
1 Write out the phrase.
2 Off to the side of the page, make three verticle columns, one containing each of the letters (once only) of the phrase to be anagrammed
3 In the first column, put a dash or mark next to each corresponding letter for each occurance.
4 At the bottom of this column, total the number of letters. (This will help to double check the accuracy of the anagram.)
5 Once all the letters are tallied, you will know how many of each you have.
6 Now, you can start building your anagram. This process is the same as playing scrabble, except, instead of just creating words, you are creating sentences.
7 As you build your words, denote a mark as each letter is used until the counts are equal. Double check by counting the total number of letters in the anagram and make sure it matches the original phrase.
Enjoy!

Well there you go, anagram away! This may be a pleasant distraction from the distraction of being distracted about if there's hope for Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday... You will only be able to do small letter groups, but if you use the method I shared previously, you will be on your way to whole sentences and paragraphs in no time.
Do you have a cool anagram from your name or screen name? BTW, the prize is the website. AJ made it easy on you by giving the answer! Have fun!

[ part one of a four part series ]
How Smart Are You?
1. You're participating in a race. You finally
overtake the second person. What position are
you in?
2. And if you just overtook the last person,
then you are...?
3. Some very puzzling arithmetic! This must
be calculated in your head only. Don't use a
calculator or even paper and pencil for this.
Add 40 to 1000. Now add 1000. Add 30
more. Add 1000. Now add 20 more. Add
another 1000. Add 10 more. What is the total?
4. Mary's father had five lovely daughters: 1.
Nana, 2. Nene, 3. Nini, 4. Nono... What's the
name of the fifth daughter?
5. A mute person goes into some shop to buy
himself a toothbrush. By imitating the action
of brushing his teeth, he successfully
expresses himself to the shopkeeper and
manages to buy it. Then a blind man comes
into the shop and wants to buy a pair of
sunglasses; how would HE indicate what he
wants?

Oh, I guess that was somewhat of a wake up call for you then. I liken what Alchemist is doing for us to taking a trip in the car and finding ways to take your mind off how long the drive is.

Answers to the quiz:
1. If you answered that you're first, then
you're absolutely WRONG! If you overtake the
second person and you take his place, YOU'RE
in second place.
2.If you answered you're second to last, then
you're WRONG again. How can you overtake
the LAST person?!
3. Did you get 5000? It's not very accurate...
The correct answer is actually 4100.
4. Did you Answer Nunu? No! Of course it's
incorrect. Her name is Mary. Read this
question again!
5. It's very simple, really: He opens his mouth
and asks for it...

[part tree of four - add up your points, I'll post the scoring in a bit, then I'll reveal the mastermind of the matter]
How Stupid Are You?
Choose an answer for each question, then add
up the numbers to determine your stupidity
level:
The capital of Greece is...
1. Dwindling. 2. Athens. 3. G. 4. "Saturday
Night Fever" is a lot more fun.
What's the opposite of Apathy?
1. I don't care. 2. Interest. 3. Cherokee. 4. A-
dead-end-y?
Who's known as the discoverer of America?
1. Neanderthals. 2. Christopher Columbus. 3.
Americus Gazpacho. 4. Captain Crunch.
Who's buried in Grant's Tomb?
1. The man who invented this "joke",
hopefully. 2. Ulysses S. Grant. 3. I need more
information. 4. Which one of them?
Let's say I wed your cousin and I have a
cousin too; then he is...
1. Not wanted on Thanksgiving. 2. My cousin-
in-law's cousin. 3. A next of kin of sorts. 4.
We can't both be married to my cousin!

[part four of four]
5-7: You possess negative amounts of
stupidity. You are a constant smartass who
has no energy to try this unneeded test. Go
read Kafka or something.
8-12: You have zero stupidity and answered
almost every question in the test correctly.
Well done, you are duller than a fourth grade
history teacher. You are the person that often
tells everyone when 'whom' should be used.
13-19: You maintain a healthy amount of
stupidity. You are a failure, fall down a lot and
are a real hazard to yourself and to others.
You are probably a pet psychic.
20: You are Sarah Palin.
5-7: You possess negative amounts of
stupidity. You are a constant smartass who
has no energy to try this unneeded test. Go
read Kafka or something.
8-12: You have zero stupidity and answered
almost every question in the test correctly.

13-19: You maintain a healthy amount of
stupidity. You are a failure, fall down a lot and
are a real hazard to yourself and to others.
You are probably a pet psychic.
20: You are Sarah Palin.

I scored 9, at least I won't have to read Kafka! The Neanderthals discovered America first followed by the American Indians or Vikings...

8-12: You have zero stupidity and answered
almost every question in the test correctly.
Well done, you are duller than a fourth grade
history teacher. You are the person that often
tells everyone when 'whom' should be used.

The Grand Anagrammy Awards of 2010
Long Category:
Meyran Kraus with:
How Smart Are You?
1. You're participating in a race. You finally
overtake the second person. What position are
you in?
2. And if you just overtook the last person,
then you are...?
3. Some very puzzling arithmetic! This must
be calculated in your head only. Don't use a
calculator or even paper and pencil for this.
Add 40 to 1000. Now add 1000. Add 30
more. Add 1000. Now add 20 more. Add
another 1000. Add 10 more. What is the total?
4. Mary's father had five lovely daughters: 1.
Nana, 2. Nene, 3. Nini, 4. Nono... What's the
name of the fifth daughter?
5. A mute person goes into some shop to buy
himself a toothbrush. By imitating the action
of brushing his teeth, he successfully
expresses himself to the shopkeeper and
manages to buy it. Then a blind man comes
into the shop and wants to buy a pair of
sunglasses; how would HE indicate what he
wants?
Answers to the quiz:
1. If you answered that you're first, then
you're absolutely WRONG! If you overtake the
second person and you take his place, YOU'RE
in second place.
2.If you answered you're second to last, then
you're WRONG again. How can you overtake
the LAST person?!
3. Did you get 5000? It's not very accurate...
The correct answer is actually 4100.
4. Did you Answer Nunu? No! Of course it's
incorrect. Her name is Mary. Read this
question again!
5. It's very simple, really: He opens his mouth
and asks for it...
=
How Stupid Are You?
Choose an answer for each question, then add
up the numbers to determine your stupidity
level:
The capital of Greece is...
1. Dwindling. 2. Athens. 3. G. 4. "Saturday
Night Fever" is a lot more fun.
What's the opposite of Apathy?
1. I don't care. 2. Interest. 3. Cherokee. 4. A-
dead-end-y?
Who's known as the discoverer of America?
1. Neanderthals. 2. Christopher Columbus. 3.
Americus Gazpacho. 4. Captain Crunch.
Who's buried in Grant's Tomb?
1. The man who invented this "joke",
hopefully. 2. Ulysses S. Grant. 3. I need more
information. 4. Which one of them?
Let's say I wed your cousin and I have a
cousin too; then he is...
1. Not wanted on Thanksgiving. 2. My cousin-
in-law's cousin. 3. A next of kin of sorts. 4.
We can't both be married to my cousin!
Let's add up your points:
5-7: You possess negative amounts of
stupidity. You are a constant smartass who
has no energy to try this unneeded test. Go
read Kafka or something.
8-12: You have zero stupidity and answered
almost every question in the test correctly.
