Remarkable coincidences are rare. But they do happen.

I ran into this one the other day. Puzzle expert Cory Calhoun noticed that this text from Shakespeare:

To be or not to be: that is the question, whether tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune

can be rearranged (anagramed) into:

In one of the Bard’s best-thought-of tragedies, our insistent hero, Hamlet, queries on two fronts about how life turns rotten.

Sometimes remarkable coincidences are, in fact, just remarkable coincidences.
