Re: No, but Sierpinsky's Triangle is.

'pology to vk: i wasn't clear. i changed the subject to 'wait! stonehenge 
is a fractal?' and then refered to it in the body of the message, 
violating the rule that says 'don't do that'. the change *i* made is what i 
was refering to by 'thus the smart-alecy subject' (which i did mean to be 
smart-alecy). i was trying to make a joke on the thread drift...

mr. madelbrot [book: the fractal geometry of nature] said it was and he 
made up the word, so yep, it is a fractal, tho i don't think there is a 
good genreal def'n of 'fractal' yet.

clew jr: i wrote
> and in response to the pic what they were really talkin about
so i did know about the gasket, even if i worded the message very poorly.

and to llizard: i needed the 'stein to make the use of the 'mandelbrotstein'
gag work.


hmm. need an ob ascii art. not sure if these are 'proper' koch curves 
(and anyone feeling that i *must* be enlightened on this subject should 
probably do it by e-mail at (rot13) cvaonpx ng qnegzbhgu qbg rqh as it's a 
bit off subject here...)
