So why in the hell are almost all of these pages plain text ? No pics ? No movies ? No sounds ? No funny animations and so on ?
It's just a matter of :

• Helping these pages to load quicker (even if you have a poor old modem).
• Keeping the internet's bandwidth for things much more important than displaying silly graphics of, say, the corner of my bedroom.
• Trying to resist against mankind stupidity, which thinks that pure text is dumb.

Remember I'm a computer scientist, the internet was first build to connect computers, exchange scientific informations. It has become yet an advertisement medium where you waste half of your time loading banners trying to sell you something.
 

Here is a text picture (thanks to linux's pbmtoascii), go 2meters away to see something.
