That is way too "encoded"! Here's what you need to show that picture in an html page: <pre> -=[ toucan ]=- 8/97 .:%@&'@&:. .::&@&'&::. .::&@.&@:' '::&.@&@' ':: @.&@:' .:@&.@'___ .::@&::' '_.:-' `', ':&.@&@:. _.-'' _.-' .:&@&::. ____.-' _.-:. .&'@@.&@' .::.-.\ _.-'@&@:' '::@&@::. /;:/(o)\\_.-' '&@.&@:. .:@'&&::. |;:;:---' \```'''---.._` .: :&&@: . /;:;' /`'----------` ':&.@&:' /;;; | .::@&@&::' .:@&.@&._._/:;; | .:&'@@:.

That's a pity because a lot of people see her as the Queen of ascii art and a Great Master to look at and learn from. -- (, http://www.ludd.luth.se/~vk/cgi/asciichat/ /|__--__ . __--__ |\ '__ /|\ _{ _ `.' / `.,_ _________ | _________ _,.'
