How would you get the terminally lazy to actually do the work? Have you ever tried to collaborate with people you only know online? They will bring flaky and unreliable to new heights. The only thing I've ever really heard of working with any numbers was raid guilds on MMOs.

some kid made a better haiku than I could ever think of
I consider myself pretty creative but I don't think I'll ever be THIS creative

A poem for you.

They are uncorrupted and still have their spark of divinity fully intact. Kind of like what celibate monks try to emulate.

this is

>Seven hundred ten
Common number used by "stoners" to get stoned. OIL upside down reads 710 and OIL is another term for stoner weed. Nathan Beifuss is working off his California audience here and nodding to the place where he grew up.
>Seven hundred eleven
Clearly indicating the very popular chain of convenience stores in the United States and Asia 7-11. This second line of the poem evokes the fleeting and ephemeral nature of our world today, where everything can be packaged individually with bright colors. One recalls a simpler time before the hustle and bustle of the old 9-5 and returns to childhood.
>Seven hundred twelve
The final verse of this poem ties it all up in a neat and tidy bow. We started with the lackadaisical attitude of childhood and indulgence in mind altering toxins. We then moved onto adulthood and the droll commutes that fill our mornings and afternoons. Here we are at the ultimate 712. Clearly a reference to IRS Form 712, also known as the Life Insurance Statement. We reach the end of life here, but instead of dying peacefully we are troubled with finances and debts that will pass down through the generations. Only at this point can the reader truly understand why this is a Haiku by a Robot. The robot is mocking the trivial existence that we enact. Truly, the Robot is able to live outside this pitiful cycle, and captures it with such disdain and irony.
