Oh, the obscenity

[andrewducker]

There's been a lot of fuss recently about obscenity - culminating in various people discussing whether or not certain images are obscene.

Which is but _one_ of the many reasons I find this very amusing - mathemitical patterns that look, to put it mildly, obscene.

I suspect that almost anything curvy in that colour scheme would look obscene, but it's still pretty cool.

I think higher order differential equations should either be 18+ or carry a parental advisory label.

*grins* It's entertaining what hte human mind attributes to things.

I would be very curious to know what the algorithms actually look like :)

Default icons, anyone?

Needs more equations :(.

Actually, once I made a total fool out of myself in further (yes, I know, that happens daily) by commenting that a certain parametic equation looked *just* like the middle bit of a female torso, before sloping off to infinity...

Note to Jack: Telling women that _any_ part of them slopes off to infinity does not go down well.
