How do you talk to friends at church about science and evolution?

One day I found myself alone in one of the lecture rooms at the college where he taught, and so I grabbed a bit of chalk and started writing down some of the ones that I’d worked out on the board. A few hours later, I returned to find that someone else had been in the lecture room and had appended another one to the list. It said, “James McKay is an anagram of Jammy Cakes.”

Thank you, @jammycakes . This was delightful.
And of course, I didn’t notice that Jammy Cakes is an anagram. If you say it out loud, it just sounds a lot like a reasonable mispronunciation of your name. So, your dad’s student (or whoever got to the board after you) was a double puzzle master. Probably Will Shortz on a study-abroad program (Will Shortz - Wikipedia).
Adrian Plass sounds pretty funny. Plenty of days, I’m grateful for kid lit.

The first one was “If you rearrange the letters in Delta and Omicron, you get Media Control”. The first reply was “What’s your point? You also get Erotic Almond.” Some other I found: Intercom Load, Loam Doctrine, Mold Reaction/Creation, Climate Donor, Monocle Triad, Citadel Moron, Mired Coolant, Denim Locator, Doom Clarinet, A Colored Mint.

@Paraleptopecten, this is fantastic. So many to choose from. I’m kind of partial to Mold Reaction and Doom Clarinet myself, but I could really use a Denim Locator most mornings.
