Challenge:  Draw "Llizard" with 180' rotational properties.

"LLizard" ? U MUST be joking! Oh no, and remember, you saw it first
here, on alt.ascii-art:


|,|| "/\/|"|
|_|/\/_ ||`|

erm, no.  Lets try again:
Spaced out:

L  l  i  Z  A  r  D
_     ,  __
 |  | |   / /\ /\ |\
\| \/ \/ /_  | |  |_
             `
and tight:
_   , __
 | ||  //\/\|\
\|\/\//_ || |_
         `
I hardly think so, but I challenge anyone to do a readable one.

 L  l i  Z   A r  D

      *          _
|o [] | --/  /[]/ |
|  []-|  /  |-[]  |
|_/[]/  /-- | [] o|
            *

Yep, its a difficult one :)

Beginning to see interesting methods to get the symbols to act in multiple
ways (which is the whole difficulty).

How about this:

                  _    _  __
    /  |\  | '-/  /  |  /|  |
   |__ |/_ |  /_ /-. |  \| /

Okay, so it needs work, and that "A" looks like another "Z", and that second "L" has eaten too many pies.

If you look at it, it spells Llizard! I hope someone appreciates it.

It just looks weird to me, and it doesn't "survive" being turned 180
degrees either...

Wow, I only see lots of characters? Maybe the tabs screwed up, or
something?
