One of the best "equation" entries that I've ever seen for this puzzle is this:

I didn't know there were "style" points.

This is called a self-referential sentence. If this is your kind of thing, then have a look at http://home.att.net/~rhhardin/selfref.html
There are hundreds of sentences in this form, and it will keep you all busy.
