Rhyme by Number

Number words constitute a small collection of words that are easily encoded in an alternate representation (numerals).

• oh zero
• one two three four five six seven eight nine
• ten eleven twelve
• {thir, four, fif, six, seven, eight, nine}teen
• {twen, thir, four, fif, six, seven, eigh, nine}ty
• hundred thousand million billion trillion

Reading over the MPEG-1 specifications annex document from the ISO, I found an interesting poem:

short blocks
scale factor bands, width of band
index of start, index of end
zero four zero three
one four four seven
two four eight,
eleven.

I'm curious how many sound-features of English language poetry can be imitated in numbers. Here's my own number-poem (to be spoken aloud):

1 5 13
2 1 20
0 3 14
5 0 70
25 22
26 27
59 62
811

Misbehaving Email Client

When you include an excerpt in a reply email, it randomly selects an excerpt from another email sitting in your inbox. When your subject line is something too regular, something you've used before, it generates a new one at random. Sometimes intensifying or removing adjectives.

Whatever happened to mishearing someone? Now you can re-read what they said and quote them perfectly with little effort. Does it still count as communication if there is no noise channel?
