Dynamic Ascii Art (don't you just love those buzz words?)
=================

I'm not sure if this has been done before, but if it has, I'm sure I'll get
told pretty quickly. 

Yesterday an idea hit me (ouch) as I was drawing some faces. I dabble in
javascript.. so I spent the next couple of hours writing one.. 

The script basically 'draws' an ascii face, using random features (eyes,
eyebrows, chin, hair, nose and mouth).

A few examples:

     ........   
   .8888888888.
  88888888888888
 888  88      888
888 mmm;  ;mmm 888
888 (/\)  (/\) 888
888    :  :    888
888    :  :    888
888   :-..-:   888
888  ________  888
888:   \__/   :888
8888:  '..'  :8888
88888:......:88888


     ........
   ./////\\\\\.
  ///////\\\\\\\

/// mmm;  ;mmm \\\

\\\   ______   ///
///: /      \ :\\\
\\\\:  .__.  :////

That sort of thing. 

The script is located at:

So please take a look, and tell me what you think. Improvements to it are
welcome. 

Thanks.
