Um, that should say "a bit of hard thinking". :)

I bet!

I did an equiangular spiral for my introductory RSOCP post:

//Pickover shell
#macro Shell(N,A,B,C,K)
  #local D=(11/3-A)/N; #local I=1;
  //union{
  merge{
    #while(I<N)
      #local T=I/N; #local R=B*exp(A*K);
      sphere{
        R*<1,0,C/B>,R rotate z*A*360
        pigment{rgb<T, .6, 1-T*T>}
        finish{reflection{0,1} phong .7}
      }
      #local I=I+1; #local A=A+D;
    #end
    rotate x*30 translate <1,5,-2.5>
  }
#end

Interesting, but I agree with one of the comments that it's slightly creepy.
Speaking of which, do you know about Alexander's Horned Sphere"? It's been
called the ugliest object in mathematics.

No worries!
