   Yeah, you're probably right. I did a google on it and it looks like   
   someone claimed it was more than 18 years old in 2001.  I couldn't   
   find any record of the original creator of the art.  I still believe   
   the ASCII-art thieves are scumbags, though.  may   
   not be a thief, but I highly doubt they created the original work.
