'There are two unfortunate things here...
'I can't recall how to make a program to replace the tabs with some unknown character.
'Also, I won't be able to edit this post later.
'The solution: Oh well... who needs tabs anyways.
'The output is the important part.
'I doubt this will work as intended, but it's worth a try.
'Try it out, leave it for a while, if it doesn't work, oh well
'Maybe it will work on someone.
'Which is why everyone -not just menn, who it was made for- can try it out.

i ran that and just stared at it for a while and laughed.
the little sound effects are hilarious. fantastic, thank you :)
