Another thing you could do to cut the amount of characters used is to do it like this: . , john_vander_zwaag . ,`o--Y ____.....------.' .,' ,,~'' `,------.....____ ''''` `---.:: ,': ; ,' ;`. ;;.---' '```` jrv...@ra.msstate.edu ` `:__`-._ `.`., _,-'__;' ' van...@erc.msstate.edu` `---`---'`'`---'---' ' http://www2.msstate.edu/~jrv1 \`--'/`,, ``` ''' By doing it this way, the number of characters drops from 475 to 419 (or thereabouts). Still over 320 characters (4 x 80), but who am I to talk. BTW, that's a nice chicken. :^) -- _--_ . || /:\ || /;:.\ ||__. _ //;:. \ ~ || /'\\< \,,._-_ /'\\ /'\\,._-_ /'\\ \\ \\ \\ ///;:.. \ || || /-|| || || / || || || || || || || __--"////;:... \"--__ || || (( || || ||/ || || || || || || || --__ "--_____--" __-- ,-___- \\,/ \/\\ \\, \\,/ \\,/ \\, \\,/ \\//\// """--_______--"""
