Not all stereotypes are always correct.  There is the counter stereotype, largely from Eastern sources, of those who achieve enlightenment, and through it serenity, in their old age.  And what is the Singularity if not an enlightenment on the processes of thought itself?

Cool, Adrian that's almost... haikuey.

We could start a religion.  No scratch that.  We could start... no scratch that too.  But if we are writing haiku about the singularity, it is most unfortunate that we have given it a five syllable name.  Broderick suggested a single syllable name, but it has fallen out of fashion.  In any case, this is my singularity haiku:

Already started
Nearly finished in our time
The spike is now here.
