Like http://www.ibiblio.org/wm/paint/auth/rossetti/? Somehow, I think that at least one of the works Jean Arp may be more fitting for some of the anonymous posters. Information about American English usage here and here. Floating point issues? Please read this before posting. — emc	[reply]

It would have to be a Vermeer ( girl with a Perl earring )? (Ahem...) Or better, graffiti?

Try Wikipedia, then. Wikipedia is an omniscient brain. Google is a mass of disentangled neurons. Griffin is the name of the character in H. G. Wells' novel The Invisible Man who discovers the means of making people invisible. Ralph Ellison wrote a novel called Invisible Man, but the subject matter is entirely different. The point being, I suppose, that Anonymous Monk is an Invisible Man. Between the mind which plans and the hands which build, there must be a mediator... and this mediator must be the heart.	[reply]

..when I think about it, anonymity seems very surreal. If I as a monk, emulated an anonymous sub, would I suddenly spring into existence...only to be garbage collected later? ..hmmm..now how would Dali have portrayed such an event...? ...the majority is always wrong, and always the last to know about it...

Given some code I saw yesterday, how about "just slosh it all over, let the compiler figure it out!" Honestly, there are times when I view code (regardless of language) and wonder just how the person who wrote it manages to brush their own teeth without winding up in the hospital.

Nice idea! But only if it is good quality ascii-art. And that means Perl-generated :) Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
