    Anonymous Monk - zentara can correct me if I am misunderstanding something, but I believe he is writing some poetry and the idea is that even though you are calling the program with some well known and funny lines, they can be construed as vulgar in some cases. So his program 'cleans' them and simply replies that you are 'Holy'... So this isn't a case of writing the program syntactically correct (as I initially assumed). If his intention was to call the program with Holy('cow') and he wanted it to print out "Holy cow!" then yes, you would need '$[0]'.
