Fixes for 2013/misaka and add demo.sh

Browse Source 
A link in the judges' remarks was dead and was replaced by a link in the
Internet Wayback Machine.

Format fix the README.md file.

As there are a lot of commands to try I added them in demo.sh, sleeping
approximately 1 second between each command (though I thought of
prompting instead).

And... since the author appears to love cats I'll throw out the word of
us cat lovers: ailurophile(s). And to those who are afraid of cats
(though I don't know why :-) ), the phobia is: ailurophobia.

If you're an ailurophile see https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Fun:Cat. Even
if you're not you might find it amusing.
