#12Wow - I don't think I'll sleep tonight. I want to reprogram all of this myself. Thanks for sharing!

#13My favorite part of the article: >From what I can tell, one of the settings used to deal with division by 0 is the so-called Riemann sphere, which is where we take a space shuttle and use it to fly over and drop a cow on top of a biodome, and then have the cow indiscriminately fire laser beams at the grass inside and around the biodome. That's my intuitive understanding of it anyway. also: >Our cow isn't staring into…
The page as a whole does seem a little like it charts a descent in to a holey, triangular insanity.

#14I once wrote a tetrahedron sierpinski gasket... Was very fun, but always made my then GeForce 3 graphics card overheat at about 10 or 11 sub divisions.

One of the coolest parts of the article is at the very end when he algorithmically constructs music with the sierpinski triangle. http://www.oftenpaper.net/img/sierzrp1.mp3
I was blown away by the observer/house sketch. Philosophically speaking, I'm glad you guys are here.

Also:
> You might be wondering why we don't just ask a biologist about these mysteries. The reason is because you're inside a car right now, I'm driving, we're lost, both of us are tourists, and I'm one of those people that would sooner burn hours of gasoline/diesel than ask for directions. You also suspect I might be some kind of criminal, so you're afraid of bringing up the issue. All around it's pretty awkward in here.

#17There was a time I was impressed by a program that drew the sierpinski triangle.
The executable file was 31 bytes: http://osix.net/modules/article/?id=756

#18For the depth and length of this article, I'm pretty surprised he didn't seem to mention the Sierpinski triangle patterns that can occur on shells, see: http://www.gmilburn.ca/2009/07/16/i-see-sierpinski-shapes-by...

#19> There's a good chance that subgraph is hideous because it contains one of the 3 end vertices of the graph as a whole, though I'm too lazy to check this.
Too lazy to check that? Somehow I highly doubt it!!! haha

Aww, platonically speaking we're glad you're here too :)
