Why, thankyou for the smiley, James Mitchelhill. I appreciate it.

never know; she has a fish's tail.

I've heard of desperate before... but to "do it" with an ascii picture

Ahh yes, the thing you have created is similar to the half woman half fish
thing from an episode of Red Dwarf called 'Better than Life'.
Anyone who's interested can. I'm sure, find information on the web. The
links page on my Red Dwarf site would be a good starting point, although my
episode guides aren't quite up to scratch! :o)

My pic of Red Dwarf itself is too wide to post, but I think it's on my ASCII
site...

Oh my!! Did your mermaid lose her hair by swimming in a toxic ocean? (I
always thought that mermaids had plenty of hair.)

And I also drew a couple of animated gifs of mermaids as well. They can
be viewed at

http://webhome.idirect.com/~totton/llizard/mermaid.htm

(I didn't like the new Geocities Terms of Service after the Yahoo!
takeover so I moved all of my gif animations to
http://webhome.idirect.com/~totton/llizard/)
