Ackowledgements to Tom Neff, who claims to be the inventor of the above,
and who am I to deny him this honour.
And I feel obliged to contribute my own design:

	B-(8		Sir Robin Day

			 countenance, and who wears glasses and a bow tie)

Anyone know any other "famous people" smileys?

Incidentally, I invented the ":-)" one back in, oh, 1921, and I have it
copyrighted and trademarked and patented and copy-protected and if you
don't pay me a million billion trillion dollars every time you use it
I'll sure you!

I'm sorry, I had to claim the smileys.

My personal smileys are the "K" ones:  K-)  (-K  Since they look more like
me, due to being K-ish.  (Note the choice of two facial expressions.)

        ^
The spurious letter "r" there was due to a lightning strike.  Honest!
I don't make typos!
