This is a synthesis of the [broda](http://lojban.org/publications/cll/cll_v1.1_xhtml-section-chunks/section-koha-broda-series.html) family of gismu in Lojban. In order to properly understand this lojban text, you must conceive laughter ten thousand times. This is a reference to the [Billion laughs attack](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billion_laughs_attack) that XML parsers can suffer from.

Poem by Cadey
|
|
Ten Thousand Laughs
|
|
|
|
I laugh, and then I laugh, and then I laugh, and then I laugh (... 10,000 times in total).
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This is roughly equivalent to the following XML document:
|
|
|
|
```xml
|
|
<?xml version="1.0"?>
|
|
<!DOCTYPE lolz [
|
|
<!ENTITY lol "lol">
|
|
<!ELEMENT lolz (#PCDATA)>
|
|
<!ENTITY lol1 "&lol;&lol;&lol;&lol;&lol;&lol;&lol;&lol;&lol;&lol;">
|
|
<!ENTITY lol2 "&lol1;&lol1;&lol1;&lol1;&lol1;&lol1;&lol1;&lol1;&lol1;&lol1;">
|
|
<!ENTITY lol3 "&lol2;&lol2;&lol2;&lol2;&lol2;&lol2;&lol2;&lol2;&lol2;&lol2;">
|
|
<!ENTITY lol4 "&lol3;&lol3;&lol3;&lol3;&lol3;&lol3;&lol3;&lol3;&lol3;&lol3;">
|
|
]>
|
|
<lolz>&lol4;</lolz>
