Yes, it got messed up. You need to use a fixed font like Courier
when you create your ASCII art.

Here's a comment:
It looks to me like you're doing your ASCII piccies in some font like Arial,
or something like that in Windows. The problem is that they're proportional
typefaces ("m" wider that "i", others inbetween), whereas (spiffy spelling, eh?)
the standard for message viewing is monospaced,  where each character is given
the same width. This is to emulate a text-mode in Windows. And so the people
who *don't* have Windows can see them good. 

That's a whole lot of explanation you probably didn't want. Oh, well.

Solution: When doing ASCII art in Windows, use Notepad, or use the font 
"Courier New". 

Simple, eh?

As to the picture, well, I couldn't have done that. And the Confucius "quote"
is of dubious heritage. I don't think Confucius knew words like "butt". :)

hmm..  need some constructive criticism.... dang! I'll have to practice more.
