That's funny I saw a Ally McBeal episode about people blowing up a whale, did they get the idea from this or vice versa????

Ally McBeal episode:

Ally overhears something in cubicle of mixed toilets.
Ally thinks about it and asks someone else.
Ally sees someone do something and thinks it is true.
Ally get depressed.
Ally gets invited to disco and forgets about it.
Ally sees a dancing baby (again).
The end.

Wasn't that the theme to most of her episodes?

Well since the whale story happened back in the 70's I'd say they got the idea from the whale.

Well some people like to relax after a hard days work, and for me watching Ally McBeal which requires absolutely no brain activity at all does the tric.
So I watch it while eating (it used to air at 18:30 here in Holland) and after that I go on to more "inteligent" activities, such as reading my Donald Duck comics

Here's an ascii art self portrait I just did using an old parallel port web camera and aview. How vain. Hehe.

I'd say he took a webcam pic of himself, and used one of the many pic-to-ascii programs out there to "render" an Ascii portrait of himself.

I played with one a few months back.
