I wonder is it possible to get rid of square brackets, pipes and '^'?

Update: Yes, it is possible!
Update2: use ellipses and reformat the code

Woo, impressive. Now you just have to get rid of the bangs (!) and you could be onto something. update: mmm, even better. I think we have a masterpiece. • another intruder with the mooring in the heart of the Perl	[reply]

The bangs are on their place, see update. It became a poem.	[reply]

Wow, very cool. It looks like there should be a secret message in there somewhere. I don't mind occasionally having to reinvent a wheel; I don't even mind using someone's reinvented wheel occasionally. But it helps a lot if it is symmetric, contains no fewer than ten sides, and has the axle centered. I do tire of trapezoidal wheels with offset axles. --Joseph Newcomer	[reply]
