<p>What do you think? Is ASCII Art a hook?</p>

2

<p>Of course.</p>

3

<p>Err, how can you prove that you didn’t just search for some ASCII art? I mean there are tons of that stuff on the internet. Some sites allow you to upload a picture and it’ll turn the picture into ASCII art. I wouldn’t call it a “hook” but you could use it for the picture thing that Caltech requires.</p>

<p>Edit: Did you already get accepted?</p>

4

<p>Yeah, just joking around out of boredom. Feel free to add ASCII art (even if it’s not yours).</p>

5

<p>lol, did you actually draw those? They’re pretty nice.</p>

6

<p>No, I wish I did though.</p>
