Something from the old "illusions and impossible things" thread:

Try tiling it, it should look 3d-ish, made of interleaved cubes.
The shaded version might be easier to see:

\:\/Z/
 \;;;\
 /ZZZ/
/Z/\:\
;;\ \;
ZZ/ /Z itz

There's also a version with nothing but shading:

http://www.sci.fi/~iltzu/ascii/paradox05b.asc
:VF JL
   JGF
:::VNL
 JL:VF
JGF
VNL::: itz

I tried playing aroud with some fractal hexagons (Peano-Somebody islands,
haven't got a book handy to check the name right now) but while they can
be turned into a rather fancy background image, the ascii version doesn't
tile well at all. :-(
