Fractal Food (and other cool links)

Wow. That's really cool.

Fractal Food

Non-scientists, just scroll down past the diagrams and stuff and get to the pictures, they'll tell you quite effectively what 'fractal' means: a thingy of a certain shape, made up of the same thingies of that same certain shape, only smaller ones, who are themselves made up of the same thingies of that certain shape, only even *smaller*, and so on, and so on, smaller and smaller, yet still the same shape, until your eyes cross.

Ooo! Ancient Indus Valley - thanks to Fusion Reaction for finding this. Oooo!

The Third Follows as a Matter of Course

In order to be happy, a woman needs only a good digestion, a satisfactory complexion, and a lover. The first requirement being met, the second is not difficult to obtain, and the third follows as a matter of course. (link)

I am *definitely* writing a story with that as the title someday.

And, sometime, when I have time, I may sit down and explain how it is that this instruction boils down to love thyself. For it is from self-love, contentment, and satisfaction that inevitably follows a good digestion, and thus, a satisfactory complexion.

And the third follows as a matter of course.
