: Hmmm, anyone got any better ascii interpretations of caffeine?

Those vertical double bonds just don't seem to look nice in ascii.
Here's the best I could do:

            CH3
            |
      O=C---N
       /     \
  H3C-N       C=O
       \     /
        C===C
        |    \
        |     N-CH3
        |    /
        N===C
            |
            H
