Once the jinn was let out of the bottle, it is difficult to coop him up again. I hope Jansy will pardon me for sharing with the List the following anagramatic combination:

CAGLIOSTRO = CALIGULA + OSTROG – LUGA = CALIBAN + OSTROG + OKOVY – NABOKOVY = CALIFORNIA + OSTROG + TIMON – INFORMATION = CALIGARI + OSTROG – IGRA

(ostrog is Russian for "prison;" Luga is a town in the province of St. Petersburg, it also exists on Antiterra, but, like Kaluga, Lugano and Ladoga, in the Western hemisphere; okovy is Russian for "fetters;" Nabokovy is a plural form of the name Nabokov, "the Nabokovs;" Caligari is the name of the doctor in the famous German film, "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari," 1919; igra is Russian for "game" or "play," meaning what German Spiel means)
