BILL I didn't realise how hard an ambigram was to make until I thought about doing another one. Apparently Piller is much easier than most words. Someone on my LJ pointed me to this site: http://nagfa.blogspot.com/ Which has all kinds of new ambigrams. Maybe someone there will be able to come up with someting, though I doubt it will be in ascii. > > _______________ > / _____________ \ > / / \ \ > / / \ \ > / / ___ _ _ _ \ \ > / / | . )| || | | | \ \ > / / | . \| || |_ | |_ \ \ > \ \ |___/|_||___||___| / / > \ \ / / > \ \ / / > \ \ / / > \ \_____________/ / > \_______________/ You should have signed that. -- .-')) fauxascii.com ('-. | It's a damn poor mind that ' ..- .:" ) ( ":. -..

BILL Hello Bill, concerning (1) - I second that! concerning (2) - I came up with something with pencil and paper. Looks not so bad. I will try to transform it into ASCII. Some weeks ago I received a beautiful ambigram with my name as a jpg-file. I was so happy about it that I like to try myself for someone else :-) -- - -- ..
