Star Wars in ASCII Animation

This has been a bigtime weblog meme for I dunno how long - before I got into blogging, I'm pretty certain. However, all the versions of it I'd ever seen required Telnet support to view.

This one is a java applet, however - meaning even us 'puter no-nothings can view it in all it's insane, "what-the-hell-possessed-this-person-to-do-this?" glory.

Thanks to my friend Sue for showing me this, I'd always wanted to see it and it's the nerdiest, most insane bit of geek madness I think I've ever come across. Some guy spent way too many hours on this.
