Check out Toogle, a wickedly cool web site that takes any Google query, pumps it into Google Images, finds a picture of it — then renders the picture as a piece of ASCII art composed of the search query itself. That picture above? It’s an iPod, composed of the word “iPod” over and over again (a full-screen version is here).

The top 10 searches are, of course, almost entirely for sex-related topics, which is oddly appropriate — since the art of producing photorealistic ASCII images was pioneered by the attempts of geeks in the 1970s to transform Playboy centerfolds into a format renderable on jurassic dot-matrix printers.
