Six characters in search of a loophole

Continuing the discussion from Ten untranslatable words:  Bof. ('nuff said!)       Okay, NOT 'nuff said. We can get around the six-character limitation with the strategic deployment of HTML character-entities - including, but perhaps not limited to,   and ­. NOTE: ­ is a soft-hypen; it will render if the enclosing text can span a line-break. NOTE: This technique does not work in topic titles, which render the entities as plain-text. See QUEST for ALL CAPS TOPIC TITLE…

Sounds vaguely like theremin.

…this leads me to a thought… what about using more whistles in a bank, and play them like an organ? They could be fed from the plant’s high pressure steam piping, or the compressed air. World’s loudest organ!

…this leads me back to the older idea of playing music on a rocket engine…
