banner? Obviously not /bin/banner I suppose.

The rest of the night? Boy, you sure were bored. (but you mentioned that
already) So bored that you didn't even know whether it was night or day :)

Don't tell me you just sat there, alternately typing '.' and ' ', surely
you must have used cut and paste? Couldn't you use some emacs feature to
do it for you? I tried using mousedraw, but the pattern doesn't lend 
itself for that. Oh, btw, I checked, I couldn't find one single mis!

Oh well, now all you have to do is fill the holes where you can look
trough the pictures (like between his arms and his body)
