EQ Haiku

Haiku: an unrhymed verse, of Japanese origin, having three lines usually containing 5, 7 and 5 syllables respectively.

The idea of writing haikus about EQ began on the Info-EQ maillist. For the next couple of days these verses (some admittedly breaking the Haiku form in good fun) appeared among our usual tech support e-mails and we collected them all. EQ Webmaster, Andrea Poulimenos, submitted:
