FRACTALS

fractal

<mathematics, graphics> A fractal is a rough or fragmented geometric shape that can be subdivided in parts, each of which is (at least approximately) a smaller copy of the whole. Fractals are generally self-similar (bits look like the whole) and independent of scale (they look similar, no matter how close you zoom in).

Many mathematical structures are fractals; e.g. Sierpinski triangle, Koch snowflake, Peano curve, Mandelbrot set and Lorenz attractor. Fractals also describe many real-world objects that do not have simple geometric shapes, such as clouds, mountains, turbulence, and coastlines.

Benoit Mandelbrot, the discoverer of the Mandelbrot set, coined the term "fractal" in 1975 from the Latin fractus or "to break". He defines a fractal as a set for which the Hausdorff Besicovich dimension strictly exceeds the topological dimension. However, he is not satisfied with this definition as it excludes sets one would consider fractals.

FRACTALS!

We've all heard about them from Aly. Hell, we almost had one of these souless monstrosities plastered over our yearbook cover, but the fact of the matter is, they're pure evil. It's a well known fact that 9 our of 10 people who admire fractals should have a stake driven through their hearts, but people are still mesmerised by the colours and shapes. THERE'S A REASON FOR THAT! ALL FRACTALS ARE ACTUALLY PORTALS TO HELL! I'm sure you can see some of the definition on the left, but let me show you the real definition.

FRACTAL (n.)
a design of pure evil used to lure innocent people to their deaths. Fractals are especially effective in manipulating virgins into having lots and lots of unprotected sex against their wills.

A menace such as this can not be left unchecked. I ask you, my trusted audience, Destroy any fractal you see. If you give it enough time, you will be sucked into it's endless void!

10 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT FRACTALS THAT YOU PROLLY DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT, BUT WILL DISCOVER AFTER THIS INFORMATIVE AND INSTRUCTIVE TOP 10 LIST THAT IS BEING SHOWN BELOW THIS TITLE THAT IS OBVIOUSLY TOO LONG.

6) Fractal usage occurs 20X more in the city than in the bible belt
5) By saying "FRACTAL BEGONE!" You pacify the fractal just long enough to escape.
4) If your friend wears a shirt saying "Fractals are cool" you must kill him. It's for his own good.
3) Fractals often frequent cult meetings called "Computer Classes" where they are readily worshipped.
2) The cult leader one Aly M. Has the ability to generate an infinite amount of these Fractals. The only way to stop him is to take out his knees...
1) Stand too close to a fractal and your penis will shrivel up and die.
