Jesus........

Keep drinking boss

Currently reading Mr Strangelove by Ed Sikov........a biography of Peter Sellers (obviously ) Just completed "Is it just me or is everything !*!@#?".....Ok

"You say, we pay".......I hope you didn't get screwed too much by phone charges

Raw nerve, you grunt

Where's the question mark? You're Lewis to Denzel's Morse

please use toilet roll

Hope you & Hr Hair are well

Tiresome

Who?

Principals.......did they understand them?

The band sold a few million albums dear boy

Alice Cooper?

Sorry my halo is well tarnished.......hanging around with Denzel

Whatever.......read "To Kill a Mocking Bird".......

Ewoks.......

Standing in the shower thinking About what makes a man An outlaw or a leader I'm thinking about power... The ways a man could use it Or be destroyed by it The water hits my neck And I'm pissing on myself... Standing In the shower Thinking... Standing in the shower thinking About a man I know don't like me He don't like the place I'm headed Same place he's headed... I know he'd beat me to it If he could but he won't do it But he would man If he could... And the water is piping hot.. The water is piping hot It beats upon my neck And I'm pissing on myself... Standing In the shower Thinking... Standing in the shower thinking Is my woman afraid of me? She's seen how far I've twisted It's just cause I can trust her And ever since we met She understood so she let Me twist her good... I twist her good... And the water is piping hot The water is piping hot It beats upon my neck And I'm pissing on myself... Standing In the shower Thinking... Yours......

I believe the retired officer has some charm & character. You must have minions in life who know their place...... For Joe: Fractals - Beautiful Mathematics Fractals are mathematically generated shapes which have some special properties. The most common types of fractal, which you may have encountered before on snazzy postcards or on the Internet, are the Julia sets and the Mandelbrot set. These are both named after the mathematicians who discovered them, Gaston Julia (1893 -1978) and Benoit Mandelbrot (1924- ). The word fractal stands for 'fractional dimensions' because a fractal does not have an integer (whole number, eg 1, 2, 56, 12 but not 1.63 or 1/2) number of dimensions. To try and clarify this a bit, recall that a line is one-dimensional (1-D), a plane is 2-D and a cube is 3-D. A fractal line, however, can be 1.675-D or 1.0032-D. If this sounds a bit odd, that's because it is. Basically it's a mathematician's way of describing how crinkly a line is. The origins of fractals lie in the work of Lewis Fry Richardson (1881 - 1953), who asked the seemingly simple question, 'How long is the coastline of Britain?'. If you measure this quantity from a globe of the Earth, with a poorly printed outline of Britain, you might get the answer of a few thousand kilometres. If you measure it from an accurate map with a higher resolution, you would get a greater answer because of all the extra crinkles that show up with a more precise line. However, if you took a metre rule and walked around Britain measuring the coast, the answer arrived at would be bigger again, because a metre stick at that scale would fit into a lot more of the crinkly bits than showed up on the map. If you used a 10cm ruler, again your answer would be bigger, and so on ad infinitum. This leads us to conclude that the coastline of Britain has an infinite length - it is a fractal. The edge of any fractal is in fact infinite, and no matter how small a piece of the line you examine is, it will also be infinite. In effect, since you can make a crinkle as tiny as you like, you can fit an infinite number of crinkles into a tiny space. The Extremely Complex Bit Fractals are generated by iterations (repetitions) of a simple formula - for a Mandelbrot fractal z = z2 + c, where z and c are complex numbers. A complex number is a number made by adding a real number (any normal number you can think of is a real number, eg 1, 2.342, pi, -34.232323) to an imaginary number (a real number multiplied by the square root of minus one, this equals i). z begins at 0 + 0i (basically zero) and c is given by the complex plane mapped1 to the screen, so to generate the pixel in the very middle of the screen, c = 0 + 0i. The initial z is squared, and c is added, and again, and again, until the magnitude of z goes above a certain number - generally about four gives good results. The number of iterations required for this to happen is taken as the colour of the pixel. If z never goes above the value, the pixel is given the value 0. Fractals were originally regarded as nothing but a mathematical curiosity, but now they are being used in computer generated imagery and in image compression technology. Fractals are at the heart of chaos theory, which tries to describe how a tiny initial change in conditions can produce entirely different end results. It is interesting to note how pixels close to each other on a fractal image can have completely different colours. Chaos theory can be used to describe the motions of planets or analyse population changes, so fractals are at the heart of a lot of modern science. And I have still have a Simple Simon
