The first time this came up on io9, I suggested the following plot. I still think it’s a good idea. Tell me what you think:

A Haiku on a Nobel Prize-Winning Discovery in Nanotechnology

While I cannot hope to know how English is punctuated around the globe, in America, the comma goes inside the quotation marks.

Zombie armies march on OTHERS’ stomachs.

A sentient typewriter would punctuate correctly...

Dimensionaut...

Unfortunately, terrorists can use drones, too.
