Hi... I have a bit of a problem here.... I need an ASCII. I'm sure you hear
that all the time, but please bear with me here. Here's my dilemma:

First, I tried creating an ASCII ankh myself. No luck. I'm not terribly bad at
ASCII art, but I'm not so sure of myself to say that I'm good at it either.
Anyway, none of them came out looking right.

Second, I tried searching the web. I found three, but two were too small and
the other was too big. I need this for part of the login greeting on a MUD that
I code for, so it has to be to the correct proportions.

Third, I tried searching www.ascii-art.com -- Joan's site (by the way, kudos on
the site -- it looks great) but my browser must not like her search engine
because it gave me an error.   : /

Well, lastly, I went to dejanews and searched alt.ascii-art, and only one
instance of the word "ankh" came up -- in a request for one, but there weren't
any reponses to that post.

So here's my request... I need an ankh... I'd like it if the top portion was
leaning to the left, but that's not super important -- just an aesthetic bonus.
I'd gladly take any ankh that fits the size parameters -- no wider than 17
characters, no taller than 12 characters if standing straight vertical -- if
slanted we can widen that to 26 characters. Here's the space that it needs to
fit into:

	Is that browser-related? I wonder...

	Not even in Tut-Ankh-Amon? Ghee =)
	We must have had the deathmask of king Tut inhere...

Too big? Too small? Hmmm....

Anyway, this one is from my collection at:

I'd love to fill more requests here, but others always beat me to it ;)
