    R I P : Benoit Mandelbrot

    How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

    Indeed.

    Oh, for the hours and hours I have wasted playing with fractal set generators.

      I had so many trippy experiences with fractals on my first PC and also my Amiga computer.

        Good thing he wasn't murdered - it'd take the police forever to draw the chalk outline round the body.

              Those really were the days! I used to love playing with them.

              Mandelbrot was def a visionary. RIP sir.
