“How do I get from Written Mess to Data Gel?” — “Take the Cleric.” Or: an Underground anagram map

A London Underground anagram map. Nifty!

Also features such gems as “Snowmobile Thud”, “Supertanker Bow”, “Nether Bangle”, and “Scouse Mouth”.

In fact, I’m pleasantly surprised at how apt some of the word combinations are! They managed to put things together that aren’t simply noun–noun or adjective–noun, but actually make some kind of sense (see the Scouse mouth, for example).

Others, of course, are not quite so brilliant; particularly some of the shorter ones, where there simply weren’t enough letters to make anything funny out of. (I mean, there aren’t all that many anagrams of “Bank”, for example.)

In trying to come up with an anagram for "Bank", I pushed around letters in my head until I came up with... "bank" *facepalm*
