Introducing the University Coding Standard: Babecode!

Seeing as how the coding foolishness won't stop, I suggest we overtake the competition with the ultimate in secret messages - shots from our labs!

Code:

A picture, after all, is worth more than a thousand, uhm, ascii tokens.

That's cute!

You must have stayed up all night doing that!

GeneralTacticus · June 6, 2003, 03:01

I feel somewhat embarassed for having to ask, but...

What exactly is that?

Archaic · June 6, 2003, 03:30

....It's a woman GT. Babecode.

moomin · June 6, 2003, 04:31

GT

Lean back a-ways from your monitor and look again...

And, no, I didn't sit all night. I have a program that'll convert any GIF into ascii art. Quite nifty, in fact.

Headline:

University Professors fantasize about Lady Deirdre Skye

The first attempt to clone Lady Deirdre Skye was released by University researchers during the past week.

It is believed that the clone was produced from DNA from a strand of Lady Skye's hair that was found clutched in the hand of the now-departed leader, Academician Zakharov (presumably obtained during a hair-pulling skirmish on the UNS Unity)

Further attempts will be made .........
