This has probably been done before but I needed a specific piece of
ascii art for a game I am playing and I could not find it on the 'net.
I found this group and the FAQ this morning and threw my self at the
task and here it is.  Feel free to modify it, I would love to see what
come of the effort.

The specific item is a hand flipping someone off, so I will leave a few
blank lines for the faint of heart...

I think it's a good picture if you want to use it to flame somebody. 
:-)

As for improving... That's a very wide hand, or maybe it's the fingers
that are narrow. Why not simply look at your own hand (or maybe that
should be your hand in a mirror?) to get the proportions right. Also,
shouldn't one see something of the thumb? (and what's the &&& and ###
stuff?)

Maybe one shouldn't have a line here at the bottom of the picture. It
looks like the hand has been chopped off or something...
