But doesn't Rot13 just rotate which character is displayed?  For written
text (like jokes) this effectively prevents it from being
comprehensible.  But, for an ascii pic, as long as it doesn't depend on
shading or anti-aliasing, this wouldn't pose a problem, since it
basically depends solely on the arrangement on the characters, not the
characters themselves....
