It is a conversion from a GIF file using a GIF to ASCII converter program like GIFSCII. I did not do the conversion but looking at the left side of the bottom line of the picture suggests the author might have been "HDFB<FLOYDXM" and there are some other letters at the right hand side which may mean something ( but not to me ). Most often the converted picture is enhanced by diddling the characters in the picture to enhance the appearance. The conversion usually produces an ASCII image which leaves something to be desired in clarity and definition. Re: Einstein's tongue ASCII > P.S. I hope you didn't mind me changing eleven letters in the > image. ;-) Afterall, your art made it possible for me to do so. Not really. It is called diddling and diddles of other people's pictures are common although it is usual to acknowledge that a diddle has been done. In this case the GIF to ASCII conversion was done by "Sushil" whose name is attached to the picture. The story is that Einstein was asked to pose for a photograph on his 80th birthday and surprised the photographer by sticking his tongue out - the photographer took it and produced the now legendary picture. Bye,

Now only if you could understand his theories.
