I didn't originate this idea. On October 21, 2007 at 23:14:30, Aronas Pinchas challenged members of anagrammy.com to create Fibs using all the letters of Gregory K.'s historic six-liner. I just happen to be the first person (on October 22, 2007 at 00:48:25) to answer his call with my "HISTORY" entry.<BR/><BR/>For what it's worth, I sent a few more anagrammatic Fibs thereafter. A variation of one can be found below. Political in nature, it's about an unpopular war based on a lie -- or a fib. As a bonus, the initial letters of the lines, acrostic-like, spell out "THE FIB." (And yes, it's likewise an anagram of Gregory K.'s first Fib.)<BR/><BR/>One<BR/>Small,<BR/>Precise,<BR/>Poetic,<BR/>Spiraling mixture:<BR/>Math plus poetry yields the Fib.<BR/>=<BR/>LAST?<BR/><BR/><B>T</B>hen<BR/><B>H</B>ide<BR/><B>E</B>xcept<BR/><B>F</B>or people<BR/><B>I</B>n military<BR/><B>B</B>ecause support is grimly slim.<BR/><BR/>(Mr.) Adie C.
