   Awesome as always, Doug!

   Okay - I’ve looked at it and think its funny as ‘heck’!! BUT - shouldn’t it be ‘101 - 111 - 101′? I HATE asking because I KNOW I’m going to get trashed for it!! Hey - I got “Alpaca Lips” the moment I read it! I’m not ’stupid’ - I just ‘think’ too much sometimes!

   HELP!!!

   Doug,
   This is Poet-Bot’s poem translated into binary pig latin. Doesn’t everything sound better in pig latin? Aveha aa reatga ayda, Effja.

   Shouldn’t that be

   101 (5)
   111 (7)
   101 (5)

   Great idea however…

   OMG ! I fell how my hearth is slowly melting down my computer, we all should learn from that, Poet-Bot you just changed my life !

    I JUST finished reading all of your cartoons (and it took a good month of not paying attention during math class).
    Keep up the awesome work, Doug! I love this stuff.

    that is just beautiful.

    It’s the same thing as the old binary sudoku joke, only for English class instead of Math class.

    Binary Sudoku joke below:

    1 0
    0 1

    Still cute though.

14. Christopher on April 17th, 2009 7:26 am

    The poem has the correct number of syllables for haiku: 5/7/5. Allow me to demonstrate:

    one ze-ro one one (5 syllables)
    one ze-ro one ze-ro one (7 syllables)
    one one ze-ro one (5 syllables)

    See? Haiku perfection (of a sort).

15. Okay on April 17th, 2009 7:29 am

    So the robot is reading one zero one. Otherwise, not having anything to do with binary.

16. Seraphine on April 17th, 2009 8:18 am

    a traditional haiku
    would be 5-7-5 syllables,
    but poet-bot is freaking
    brilliant for breaking the rules.

    Haikus are easy
    But sometimes they don’t make sense
    Refrigerator.

    The above seen on my sister’s shirt.
    I just had to quote it!

20. justin on April 18th, 2009 2:53 am

    Heh, my dad once told me that there are 10 people in the world: those who know binary and those who don’t!

    (00010 is binary for 2)

21. Paul C on April 18th, 2009 11:09 pm

    Poetry-Bot’s haiku is (coincidentally?) also a palindrome.

22. Ben on April 19th, 2009 8:06 am

    the way I read it was

    LOLL
    LOLOL
    LLOL

23. Daedalus on April 23rd, 2009 8:49 am

    Okay, 5-7-5:

    101
    111
    101

    Now look at the pattern the 1s form:

    H

    H for Haiku.

    “(00010 is binary for 2)”
    I was under the impression that it was 00110010.

    Anyway, for those too lazy to learn or use a translator, I love your cartoons.

    And thank you Christopher for the clarification.
