Thanks you guys for all of your creations. I am amazed. It's quite an
art to be able to make pictures out of numbers, letters and
symbols..Awesome....

I personally do not think the death of HAL should be seen as comedic.
Actually, I think its pretty sad. The part that's saddest to me is
when HAL has lost so much of his 'mind', he starts singing a song
'daisy'. The first thing HAL ever learned. Dave did the one thing that
HAL didn't like, take away his genius abilities. How anybody could
think it's funny that an emotionless(?) robot is begging for his life
is beyond me. Especially since the movie leaves us to wonder if HAL
really did have feelings or not.

Anyway, that's just my thought about it.

Thanks guys for the ascii!
