    It would make a lot more sense if the code laid out the bitmap with the same widths as the data. For example, image 6 is a 25x25 bitmap which looks like a clover. Sadly, the text gets stretched out here, but imagine without the huge spaces on the line breaks:

    Isn't it funny how the "real" Nagesh vanished around the same time the semester ended?
    By now, the lack of school-provided meals will have starved him to death.

    Naw, it's just a power outage...
    In Hindi, we have no words for power outage. Only word for power innage.
