On Mon, 1 Oct 2001 00:48:02 +0200, "CeeJay" <newsgroups (at) ceejay.cjb.net> provoked the following text: >> That is "golden ratio", rather than "golden rule" that has been posted. >> >> Put "golden ratio" into the google.com search engine, and you will get >> more data than you can possibly want about this number.

A little unnescessary explanation: "De" means "the" (duh :-)) "Gulden" is old Dutch and means as much as "golden". "Snede" stems from the old Dutch word "snit" (there it is again!) and means "cut" or "to cut". >as we call it in danish (which translate mean the golden cut/slice) .. not >to be mistaken for "Det hvide snit" or the white cut .. which is the same as >a lobotomy ;) Danish looks a bit like Dutch as i read it here, i wonder if you can understand Dutch if you want to. Als je dit kunt lezen, dan heb ik gelijk. >I'd rather have a bottle in front of me, than a frontal lobotomy !! >MUHHAHAAHHAAAAAAAAAA!!!!
