If you're curious he also posts them all on http://www.asciiartfarts.com/ Where he also just posts this and nothing else. .. OK rarely it happens he makes a caption that IS actually funny .. sort of the like the theory that if you give enough monkeys a keyboard, eventually you will get a text resembling shakespeare .. because if you type something random for long enough eventually you will get a readable result. I have seen 1 , maybe two captions that were funny .. he have to date posted 813 ascii-farts .. so it's a awful lot of junk compared to the ones where he strikes it lucky. The funny one i'm refering to is # 444 - http://www.asciiartfarts.com/20000910.html
