Camelia ASCII Art

2010-09-14 Thread jkpeters_37 
I made a ASCII Art version of Camelia (view in fixed text, of course):

 
 _-''-_   _-''-_
   -'      '.   .'  '-
  /   **.-. ** '.\ /   *****  \
  | ** ( * ) **  *\ /\ /\ /  **  -. * |
  | **  '-' **   *)  | |  ( ** .-. **  *  |
  \   **  ** ..-' /  | |  \ * ( * ) ** ** /
   \*** .--.-^^^-.--.* '-' ** .* /
'._( @@ )   ( @@ )*   _.'
   ''.. '--' '--' ..''
/   |   |   \
   /  *  \  \___|  /  *  \
  /  ***:::** '---' **:::***  \
  |  **:::***  / | | \  ***:::**  |
   \  **  /  \ \  \  **  /
'.__.' '.__.'

The last added paragraph says (emphasis mine):

+The default metaphor for _picking_ is that you're pulling colored
+marbles out a bag and then putting them back. (For "picking without
replacement" see C instead.)
+Rolling requires no temporary state.

This is confusing to me. It is supposed to be describing the _roll_
method (as evidenced by the last sentence). Why does it mention the
default metaphor for _picking_ instead of the default metaphor of
_rolling_?
