Great work everyone.  Now, on to phase two.  Here's my vision.

We need to break the buck up into 3-dimensional cross sections.  Then, 
each of us will generate ASCII images of the duck at that point.  Then, 
we'll have our wizards here compress the cross-sections into code and 
animate them.  In the end, we should have an ASCII equivalent of 
Quicktime VR. 

This would go a long way toward helping people accept Ruby.  And making 
the world a better place.  And having more duck images.

I think we have our first CodeFest.
