: Well, if I recall correctly my very first post to alt.ascii-art was
: precisely the Canadian flag. Since it has been over four months now I guess
: it's OK to repost it:
[first flag deleted]
: I also fooled around with the characters and replaced them by a sequence of
: CANADA both horizontally and vertically which led to:
: DACANADACANADACANADACANADACANADACANADACANADACANADACANADACANADACANAD
: ACANADACANADACAN NADACANADACANADA
: CANADACANADACANA A ADACANADACANADAC
: ANADACANADACANAD ADA DACANADACANADACA

: Quiz: Can anyone find out why the flag starts with "DACANA" instead of
: "CANADA"? (Hint: there is a CANADA somewhere in the flag that
: dictates where all the other CANADA's go. Which one is it?)
Easy quiz (see hilighted[sorta] stem)...
