Great tutorial, but..

: "^`'*-=~+,._.,+~=-*'`^"^`'*-=~+,._.,+~=-*'`^"^`'*-=~+,._.,+~=-*'`^"

There's something very very wrong with that line. Wait! I feel an evil
presence! Now what was that thing a few lines back?

: Top of line : " ^ ` ' *
: Middle      : - = ~ +
: Bottom      : _ . ,

Ha! It is indeed the dreaded tilde, the curse cast by the font designers
over all ascii artists and their kind! And right next to it lurks its
fiendish and deceptive companion, the asterisk!

 Top of line : " ` '
 Top/middle  : ^ * ~
 Middle      : - = +
 Bottom      : _ . ,

There, the evil has been contained, the bringers of corruption banished
to their proper place. May this be a lesson to those newly initiated
into these arcane arts of ascii, and a warning to those who would dare
dabble hastily with these devious and untrustworthy characters.

..or did I get a bit carried away?
