Waka!

Emailed to me from another humor list (Grillo)

A poll conducted among INFOCUS magazine readers had established "waka" 
as the proper pronunciation for the angle-bracket characters < or >.

The following poem appeared recently in INFOCUS magazine. The original 
authors were Fred Bremmer and Steve Kroese of Calvin College & Seminary 
of Grand Rapids, MI.

The text of the poem follows:

        <> !*''#
        ^"`$$-
        !*=@$_
        %*<> ~#4
        &[]../
        |{,,SYSTEM HALTED


The poem can only be appreciated by reading it aloud, to wit:

         Waka waka bang splat tick tick hash,
         Caret quote back-tick dollar dollar dash,
         Bang splat equal at dollar under-score,
         Percent splat waka waka tilde number four,
         Ampersand bracket bracket dot dot slash,
         Vertical-bar curly-bracket comma comma CRASH.
