Actually, three different web based anagram generators turned in vast
quantities of potential anagrams such as "chaw nitric tingle" and
the challenge was wading through the list to find the potential hits.
The Anagram Genius anagram generator culled its own list for me and gave
me only a few hundred, but missed a few of the gems that you saw here.
Computers can be taught what an anagram is, but they don't know what's
funny.
