If nine does what?

You dumbass, it was nine billion names, not a billion.

Reading for comprehension is probably a skill lost
somewhere among your missed meds, Julian.

How sad a sack you are, a nonagon of sadnesses
in an eniad of nested sacks.

>> grandmaster is gone.

Much like your mind, it eventuates.

Pollutka has already patented the "everything to
which I respond later needs slime removed" posting
technique. You should take the time to invent a
style all your own, rather than employing a style
derivative only of your enslavement to your
aberrant brain chemistry.

C'mon, stupid ***. Even a Japanese child knows that a haiku is of the
form:

a 5 syllable phrase
a separate 7 syllable phrase
a separate 5 syllable phrase.

with a seasonal reference inclusive.

You insult the form of haiku as well as Arthur C. Clarke with your
pathetic dribbling over the edge of phrases. How does it feel to be
the intellectual equivalent of a dribbling Japanese baby?

Did you know you would grow up to be an insult to a poetic form?

A Jungian peek inward by you to regard calmly your
abberant brain chemisty's unremediated effects would
answer that query without you taking recourse to the
'Net for help, Julian-meds-dodger.

xanthian.

Oh, and as usual, the things you insist you know,
simply are not so:

You'd make a fool of yourself online less often if
you bothered to take your meds to keep your bipolar
disorder under control, Julian Francis Waldby.

(misspellings "abberant", "chemisty" fixed; sigh;
seen with the naked eye, my worldview is now as if
seen through heavily smudged glasses)

It's just a simple code, to be read upward by word
size in steps of one letter:

:- A ... by you ... your ... would answer ...
:- without ... recourse.

Not that it means anything even as code, but still,
your level of despair is inappropriate, all the
hard words can safely be ignored ...

xanthian.
