Not sure of my fascination with this, but liverpole's Spatial Japh got me interested in animated ascii graphics. That, along with greats such as How to (ab)use map and How to (ab)use substr and my own contribution to the (ab)use series (Ab)using fo(u)r...... all inspired me to abuse 'or':

It might not work on windows, but I can't test there anyhow.

And in case you can't tell, it's sort of supposed to be rotating :)

Enjoy!

Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
