Other words you can make include suggestible, demonologist,
troublesome, tongueless, lobotomies, grogginess, bloodlines, globe,
world, lord and brimstone (among others).

blood". Of course, I'm using an anagram program to anagram the
remaining letters, after picking out an interesting set of words...

It also anagrams into "go below, noble druggists", which could be
interesting. Pity I can't get anything interesting out of "tongueless
