I was thinking the other day, that it might be possible to create an ascii
signature that appears as one thing in a fixed width display (i.e. pine)
and appears as something different in arial (i.e. Outlook)
I guess it would have to be fairly crude. Has anyone tried this?

I never tried Koch curves, but I did write a Mandelbrot Set generator in COBOL on a Burroughs B3900 mainframe. The resolution was piss poor, but it was fast :) Lemming -- Curiosity *may* have killed Schrodinger's cat.

I reallty want to know. [steping into this conversation] There are not many words that are also words rot-13ed. I used to use an Organization: header on my posts that read "gnat tang" which is a palindrome that rot-13s into the words swapped, "tang gnat". Elijah ------ has probably only used about 5 different Organization: headers over the years

The YAWL contains 108 such pairs, though quite a lot of them involve words neither I nor www.m-w.com recognize. The longest pair found is "nowhere"/"abjurer". There several pairs of 2-letter words, but only one, "or"/"be", has both words in common usage. -- . _, .. j u s t. h o w l.i n g i n .t h e n.i g h t .. ._, . , )'' . /\_ .

Excellent - I found 0.2 at http://www.ibiblio.org//pub/linux/libs/ - hopefully this is the most up to date? It doesn't seem to have pairs of words though, so I suspect there's something a bit more recent? No matter, it'll be fun writing a program to find the matching pairs anyway. >I don't think > the pairs would be enough for haiku, though, since most of them consist > of abbreviations, prefixes, obscure placenames and other things that are > not really proper words.
