Exploring the world of comic strips through vague Japanese poetry.
February 24, 2005
The content on this page is solely created by you, the viewers, so if you want to see more, you'll have to contribute something yourself.
- Haikus are a form of poetry that consists of three lines with five, seven, then five syllables on each respective line. For example...
Rockwood is in space (5 syllables)
On a circular station (7 syllables)
Looking down on Earth (5 syllables)
Obviously, that's pretty boring, but technically correct. Try to do more than just count syllables. Be creative!
- The haiku you submit doesn't necessarily have to have Rockwood mentioned in it, but it would be nice if it related to something in the site somehow, whether it be space-related or just pertaining to a topic brought up elsewhere.
On with the haikus!
Haiku number one wins Haiku of the Week because...well, really... how could we deny it...
Better than exams
Solving Rockwood's e-week Q's

Oh, the third question

Who knows if I'm right
Couldn't get it in haiku
My work is below
--Greg
WORK:
1. 20 burgers per hour * 8 hours per day * 5 days per week * 52 weeks per year = 41,600 burgers per year
1,830,000 dollars per year/41,600 burgers per year
43.99 dollars per burger
and find 16 dollars on the ground
2. 16 N * 1 m = x * 8 N
x = 16/8
x = 2 m
3. 2 inches of ice/ 1/4 inch of ice per month = 8 months
365 days per year / 12 months per year = 30.1466667 days per month
30.14666667 days per month * 8 months = 243.333 days
Wednesday, February 23 is 54th day of the year
54 + 243.3333 = 297.333 day of the year
297.333 day is 8:00 a.m. on October 24th.
