Here's one I just spent way too much time on. It's based on the 'smiley-face' JAPH that merlyn did back in 1990 (can be found on this page). I got a little lazy at the end... the last part can surely be obfuscated much better than it currently is.

Update: hmm, if you download the code and try to run it, make sure you get rid of the ^M characters first. Maybe cut and paste is the way to go, instead.
