Ahh, maybe a new way to waste time, since haiku and limericks are passe.
Who can come up with a koan that incorporates the most profound, but subtle
and hidden, truth about XML?
There is an apocryphal story of Michael Champion's visit to the Great Buddha.
MC: Oh Great Buddha, such are the depths and subtleties of XML, is it possible that such a thing of profundity could have happened by chance?
GB: No my child, XML is ineffable. Not even if a billion monkeys worked for a billion years each with a billion copies of OpenOffice.org could such an exquisite thing occur by chance.
MC: Oh Great Buddha, then what of the PSVI?
GB: Two monkeys! Ten minutes!
How zat zen? :)
BTW what is a koan?
