Cowsay and Cowthink online

Cowsay is an “ASCII Art” generator that Garry Larson would have loved. The name of the program is self-explanatory, except it can draw other “animals” (eg dragons) and some fairly offensive stuff. Though it does not appear in the Jargon file, it's really hacker culture. You can even find a cow in the Linux source code.

If it's better left unsaid, better use cowthink.

This page is actually an experiment with proc_open(). It needs PHP5 because it uses stream_get_contents.
