    I wrote a haiku. :D

    There's nothing more fun

    Than reading detective books

    Meitantei Conan.

    You know Haiku

    when you see poets

    counting sylables on fingers

    I just randomly typed in to search Haiku and this showed up. What's that and what it means?

    Basho:

    Sitting quietly

    Doing nothing

    Spring comes

    And the grass grows by itself.

    the wise don't trust histories that aren't written in haiku's anymore, the ancient wisdom has returned then.

    internet chi healers, and hippies unite in the spirit of organic technologies

    onara shita ( I just farted )

    minna-san nigeta ( Everbody ran / escaped )

    Kusai kana? ( I wonder if it stinks )

    Stick this haiku in your pipe and smoke it or toke it!
