I'd like all files to have a big comment on top that says wtf this is, why is it, and roughly how it works. Bonus for ascii art.
My favorite is the 'here be dragons' ASCII art, that's how you know you're in for a fun time
One of my favorites was along the lines of "An evil wizard wrote this. Attempt to replace it at your peril, but never try to modify it".
cowsay -f dragon messageworks great for this.The name and location of an MS Paint-made jpeg with the visual explanation aids would be good, too.
Maybe save the jpeg as txt and add it as a comment.
