Fractal of the Day

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: If you're a sensitive, easily offended fractal fan, stop here. Avert your gaze. Do not run the parameter file; do not view the image. If you do, you could be outraged. Today's image has virtually no class at all. It's filled with boobs. No, I don't mean a group of stupid people, I mean exactly the objects that come in pairs that you're thinking of. And the boobs are not just lying around, they're flying -- in pairs of two naturally. The picture could almost be named "Attack of the Killer Boobs", but I named it "Giant Flying Boobs", since that name has just the slightest bit more than zero class. The near total lack of class brought the rating down to an unrated X, but it's really a fun picture, so who cares about the no-class rating? The image is a scene in the second version of the 'parent' fractal. The location is at the edge of the fan. The actual edge is the broken line near the bottom of the frame, where the ground appears to merge with the sky. The flying boo . . . er . . . objects are actually holes in the fan, and they are filled with interesting midgets, which I have not yet even attempted to investigate. The parameter file is a reasonably fast 5 minutes, much better than we've been doing lately, but still slow enough to make the download the better choice. The download may be found at: The fractal weather today was mostly cloudy with on-and-off showers. The temperature of 76F (24.5C) was near perfect, though the wet grass kept the cats confined to their ledge by the window. Despite the lack of class of today's FOTD, the philosophy did quite well today, as I gathered some recent musings about my favorite topic, science and religion, and combined them into a single essay. The whole works will be ready for dissemination by tomorrow. If I don't edit the long article before then, tomorrow's philofractal version of the FOTD discussion will likely be the longest on record. So don't miss the excitement, which will appear in roughly 24 hours. Until then, take care, and address your complaints to: Jim Muth jamth@mindspring.com |
