Google ASCII Art

If you Google [ascii art], you'll find an ASCII representation of Google's logo next to the search box. It's a geeky Easter egg closely related to the witty use of the "did you mean" feature to help you understand recursion.

    That Chris guy has had the domain chris.com forever. Wish I could have registered it first, but am happy with my domain for now.

    Does the ascii art look the same in other browsers?

    Yeah, as long as the font is equally spaced (such as Courier, Lucida Console, etc.
