come to the front of the Internet.

One fine day in the middle of the night,
Two dead men got up to fight;
Back-to-back they faced each other,
Drew their swords and shot each other.

And they are, of course, fractals in general are useful for modeling all 
kinds of physical stuff, like landscapes, etc. I just don't know I've seen

With that quality, would have liked to see what they could do with a
cross-section.

That was a cross section. It's a 4D fractal. ;-)

I'm not impressed. So it looks like taffy. Big deal.
