"rectabular brackets" .sig

Here's a 75-column .sig employing the moebius-like "rectabular brackets".
It looks great on my monitor- does it look OK on yours? (using a monospace
font, of course.)

Working on the ambihicular hexnut. I also draw optical illusions for fun. I don't think that the hexnut is a good idea for a sig, becuase it would be too big. You could probably make a big ascii art with it, though. I changed the form, without changing the illusion, below: This is what I have so far... _ _ _ / \ / \ / \ |\ /| |\ /| |\ /| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |_|/|_|/|_|/|_|/ Trying to make it look like factory smokestacks instead of the hexnut thing. -- .. __________________________________________________________________ .. <--________________________________________________________________ |.. ..| ____________________________________________________________ | |.. ..| | | | | |.. ..| | | BaRrY YaRBrOugH yarbrough@earthlink_net | | |.. ..| | | Earthlink_network, Inc_ Fax| (818) 296-4159 | | |.. ..| | | Internet Service Provider Ph | (818) 296-2400 x2545 | | |.. ..| | | www_earthlink_net "I didn't do it!" -Yarbrough | | |.. ..| | |__________________________________________________________|_| |.. ..| |________________________________________________________________|.. ..|__________________________________________________________________-->

It's a bandwidth-wasting .sig, though. WAY too many lines... Does anyone else have any optical-illusory ASCIIs to share? J Scott
