Caduceus or Kundalini Ascii picture

· 13 messages · 2 Jan 2003 - 4 Jan 2003
hi peeps I'm looking for a good ascii drawing depicting the kundalini phenomenom... but actually the caduceus would be neat too for those who don't know what it is: the caduceus is also called 'the staff of hermes'... you can find loads of pics of it when you do a search on google pictures on 'caduceus'... (btw, the correct real one has only three coils around the staff, not 12 or so like many pics show) If anyone can help me out or draw one for me, that would be like heh cool ! enjoy Vlad

In your font those two might be mirrored versions of each other. In the font I use they are not.

I've been thinking of using 8 ==. .== `==`o'==' (|) 8 Even worse! *sigh* -- ##### c ^ OO /\\\\ ##### | /|\ `^^^^^^^%-- '||` | \\\\ ####-[.]\ / \ " " \ ha ha ha dd /[.]-\\\| ### _| |_ \\| ### (_ http://www.ludd.luth.se/~vk/cgi/asciichat/ _)} == \ / A S C I I A R T C H A T # ||\

There is a relatively short list of characters that are ascii, so there's really no need to guess: http://www.ludd.luth.se/users/vk/q/asciitable.txt > > In your font those two might be mirrored versions of each other. > > In the font I use they are not. > > Ah thats it. I am using lucida console I use "9x15": http://www.ludd.luth.se/users/vk/q/favourite_font.gif Try drawing some pictures while using different fonts. I have noticed that when I use Fixedsys or Courier I tend to use the characters differently. Such experimentation can lead to Interesting Results... :-) -- ##### c ^ OO /\\\\ ##### | /|\ `^^^^^^^%-- '||` | \\\\ ####-[.]\ / \ " " \ ha ha ha dd /[.]-\\\| ### _| |_ \\| ### (_ http://www.ludd.luth.se/~vk/cgi/asciichat/ _)} == \ / A S C I I A R T C H A T # ||\

For shame! :) Try a google images search for the two words. "Caduceus" gives a very clear result, "kundalini" does not. -- ##### c ^ OO /\\\\ ##### | /|\ `^^^^^^^%-- '||` | \\\\ ####-[.]\ / \ " " \ ha ha ha dd /[.]-\\\| ### _| |_ \\| ### (_ http://www.ludd.luth.se/~vk/cgi/asciichat/ _)} == \ / A S C I I A R T C H A T # ||\
