Rappers and wrappers agree: more paper, more problems.

In April 2007, while replying to the following question by Deborah Solomon in Questions for Douglas Hofstadter: "Your entry in Wikipedia says that your work has inspired many students to begin careers in computing and artificial intelligence," he replied "The entry is filled with inaccuracies, and it kind of depresses me." When asked why he didn't fix it, he replied, "The next day someone will fix it back."[22]

ode yo

'Yo' is the best greeting and its also an interjection. Yo's versatility combines with its phonetic charm to make it so great and it looks good repeated too, yo. Yo Yo Yo YoYoYo, yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo, yo yo yo, Yo Yo Yo Yo Yo Yo Yo Yo Yo Yo Yo Yo Yo Yo Yo Yo Yo Yo Yo Yo.
Yo can be used as a verb, as in "Yo, why are you yo-ing at me?" - James.
Wikipedia says it may derive from oi meaning 'I' in italian or may be short for 'your' or 'you'.
Yo means you but it also means I if you speak spanish or if you go to high school in Baltimore.
I've started using yo to say good bye because any good greeting should also be a farewell (like aloha). We usually do this by making a peace sandwich, using 'yo' as the bread as in 'yo peace, yo'. That's kinda redundant though, yo. Lets say you're walking around and see an acquaintance yonder so you cup yo hand to your mouth and shout "Yo!" You see you're also saying goodbye as you pass.
