ZOOOOOM!
So on this telnet server (yes, telnet still exists and this is where you can find it), a group of computer scientists have converted Star Wars, the major motion picture, into ASCII.

I mean, not the poster, not a trailer or anything, the WHOLE MOVIE. Frame for frame. All in ASCII. And you can watch it. All of it, in ASCII. I mean, dorkiness of that magnitude is usually only heard of in Books of Legend.

I'll try to find a way to have others see this thing, it's amazing.
I cite irreconcilable differences.

Finally
This has been around a long, long time. It was originally a telnet to the Netherlands, but now is available on the web as:

Star Wars ASCIImation.

Really, really geeky. :sombrero:
