Now that is the stupidest question I've ever heard.  I've tried 
almost all the so called programs to make ascii art and not evern 
look as good as my own free hand stuff....  Here is the idiot 
himself.


             _.,- ` ''\,
          .,.`'^,/^-. . : \ .
         /  .  ,  .,    \., \\
        ' :  ./  / ,.' \ .' . |,
       :. ; ,./ ,.',|| ^,.\  ` \
      ;.,-----.  ,----.\ `,.\  0
       | ,$$. |=| ,$$. |:===.,|`
       |  ''` / \  ''` |.?   ),/`
       /'----' . '----'  , }/.,
      '     (._ )`)      _.)'\
      '   (.______.,) ,  /| ,'
       '   \:::::::/     ,   '
        \.  `-...-'    ,`/  ,'
         \\   ~    .,'   /
          \ `--~^`       |
           ) \           ,


their is just something about certain Characters that lend 
themselves to this kind of hack.
