I've commented on the beautiful nature of fractals before; shapes that occur in nature and reiternate themselves. Evil Scientist took one of my favorite types of fractals, the Sierpinski Carpet, and made cookies out of it.
After work today, I'm gonna go to the store and buy some pillsbury sugar cookie dough and try to make them myself. I'll post pics if I can get it to work. Or maybe I'll post pics anyway, to document my failure. My tasty, delicious, failure.
A fractal is an irregular geometric object that is self-similar to its substructure at any level of refinement.
In regular-person speak: something that looks the same no matter how closely you look at it. Think: bonsai tree. Cut a piece of branch off a big tree and replant it, and it looks like a cute little tree. See, fractal.
This here is the fractal 23 chest of drawers. I lurve this piece of furniture. This, lovely, delicious, mathey piece of furniture.
And the triangle chair! Look at the triangle chair!!!
