Tried your approach and saw nothing like a bird, more like a fist and finger (which would be in line with the Enterprise), but not clearly so either. Strange indeed.

Strange indeed. "Flipping the bird" is a euphemism for giving someone the finger, so indeed we saw the same image.

Thanks, pretty damn decent, now, can you tell us how to use fixed- pitch fonts, for another (rel.) easy to find reference? ...Also, I figured more unique formatting (cont.) and subtle jokes, and creativity would really help out here, and it succeeded in bringing preservation for obscure stuff, plus, it was at least kick- ass.
