Boing Boing: A Directory of Wonderful Things - Spam Haiku

BoingBoing has an article today about some writing Russell Buckley has been doing about Spam Haiku. I wrote to him about my SpamKu Project and got a nice response from him:

1. Damn and I thought I was being original. 2. Damn - your idea is much cleverer. 3. But then the purist takes over as I realise your Haiku doesn't use the traditional 5/7/5 syllable pattern.

He's right in 3, my algorithm only counts vowels to figure out how many syllables are in a line. It's a pretty crude way to do it, but works sometimes :-)
