Just saw SSS's post, good work. This could mean that Dell leads to Texas, which could become taxes. Joshua could lead to Israel, which anagrams to serial, perhaps as in killer. So who here connects to death and taxes?

Drat! Have to finish work, but was hoping I could connect Mohammed to Medina to maiden somehow - maybe through Iron Maiden!

Hope this is done when I get back.

I've got a partial one, I think: Stephen King, Bangor, Josh Groban, Josh Holloway. Which word is connected to Josh Groban?

That would be the PRAYER, which is his best known song, shudder.

Ralph is already taken with Ralph Nader. This must link to Alice Walker ... after all, Alice Kramden is the one who actually was going to the moon.

updated consolidation

#57 Post by franktangredi » Mon Mar 03, 2008 7:06 pm

Okay, I just caught up with this, and I updated the consolidation, putting all the solved ones up front.

Atahuallpa intrigues me. CUZCO anagrams to ZUCCO, but GEORGE is already taken.

Medina does anagram to DAMIEN, but Father Damien's first name was Joseph, and I don't see any Joseph on the list.

I doubt that JERICHO anagrams to anything.


THE TANGREDI
Anagram the name of a place associated with one person on the list to create a new last name that can be paired with the first name of somebody else on the list.

Not sure if this means anything, but it is compelling to me. One of the people on the list is apparently Gustav Klimt, which is a hard match to make for anything. There are a few other famous Gustavs, though, one of whom is Mahler, whose name is an anagram for Harlem. But I cannot see anyone else on the list who is associated with Harlem. But it would be cool if it did link up somehow.

I hope this is right...

13. Ulysses S Grant (GALENA) + 29. Fred Merkle

= ANGELA Merkel (pairs with GERMANY)

Since Merkle is famous for an error, maybe an erroneous spelling of his last name (Merkel) should be used?

Caution: i went to her imdb filmography and the word jumped out so fast it nearly put my eye out -- serves me right.

How about SHOP for Claire Danes?

She was Steve Martin's co-star in Shop Girl.

Anagram experts - What can you make out of BEALS?

Because Jennifer Beals is the star of The L Word on Showtime., so maybe that's something.

Hey, can I play too? :)

I saw the Mahler thing as well, and Ralph Ellison could be easily associated with Harlem -- but his use for Ralph Nader (boo!) is too good to be wrong. (And there isn't a good word to associate with Mahler, either).

However -- Klimt is from AUSTRIA, which anagrams to TAURASI, which goes with Diana Rigg to give us Diana Taurasi, former star guard for the U. of CONNECTICUT.

Also, Michael Dell is from AUSTIN, which anagrams to UNITAS, which combines with Johnny Paycheck and Baltimore.

Well, thank goodness you found that, mcd (BTW, Hi, doll :D), because I was going crazy trying to find a place that could become Ribicoff to go with Abraham Zapruder for Connecticut.

One of the big names (as big names go) in 20th century particle physics is Abraham Pais. So, Galileo to Pisa to Pais to Physics to Abraham Zapruder.

I'm tantalized by the William Safire/On LANGUAGE possibility, which would make a match with William Rose. But I can't come up with a SAFIRE anagram that's a place name.

Edit: That's not precisely true. I found places called Ferasi and Fresia by googling, but there's no plausible relationship between these places and the names on our list.

Nope, and I feel silly for catching this so late. Braille gives us Paris. Paris will anagram to Sapir. Edward Sapir, along with Benjamin Whorf, came up with this notion that LANGUAGE helps create our world - that, potentially, two people speaking different languages might see the world very differently - what if your language does not have a future tense, for example? Or something like that.
