• Seabee challenge!

    From Angus Mcleod@VERT/ANJO to All on Thursday, June 09, 2005 16:47:00
    Okay, my Seabee, currently under construction

    http://www.anjo.com/rc/aircraft/seabee/

    comes with a large sheet of water-transfer markings that can be applied to
    the model. The markings include the aircraft's name and a seial number. These will obviously be stuck along the side of the fuselage UPSIDE DOWN
    son they can easily be read when I make low, inverted passes! :-)

    The markings say:

    SEA BEE S168 EX

    Now, with the help of a web-page or two, I've been trying to anagram these letters to come up with something clever. I can't do much with the 168,
    but the letters SEA BEE EX can be anagrammed to give me stuff like SEX and AXE. If I modify the E's, I can get F's and/or L's. and also I's. So
    with two E's modified to F's I get words like BEEF and BEEFS, FAX and
    FAXES. Altering two E's to L's gives BELL/BELLS, BALE/BALES, BALL/BALLS, BELLE/BELLES, SLAB, BLASE, SELL, etc, etc.

    Google for 'Anagram', pick a result and try your own! I've been using

    http://www.wordsmith.org/anagram/advanced.html

    Also since there are two copies of each marking, I could use both sets of letters to create a single word/phrase for the starboard side of the
    aircraft. With modified letters, this gives things like BASEBALL.

    Trouble is, most of the anagram programs try to include ALL letters and
    will exclude any nice solutions with letters left over! Damnit... And
    they only generate legitimate words, not considering anything that might
    be considered incorrct spelling (like NITE instead of NIGHT, not that I
    have an N anyway, but by way of example).

    Anyone care to suggest a clever, _tasteful_ name that can be made up from
    the available letters? Preferably a single set (so I can get two copies
    of the name) but a single name made from both sets of letters is of
    interest too. Pity the numbers don't have a 2 and/or a 4 in them....
