# I know.
The comment was to do with the day-to-day petty annoyances one might expect to encounter in a dystopian megalopolis such as the one in your picture.
I'd like to know how on earth you make these pics, the spiral at the outskirts making me think about Mandelbrot sets, fractal geometry and so on.
What's the process?

# They are 3D Mandelbrot models,
Taking the various Mandelbrot / Julia / Menger sets, and pulling them from 2 to 3D.
Takes a bit of tinkering, but it's fun messing with them.

# Can anyone have a stab at doing this stuff?
Or is it arcane, ultra-specialised SORCERY that we mortals would be better-advised to leave well alone?

# Nope.
I'd love to know.

# But that's not ironic.
It's coincidental.

Nice pic, btw :)

# Last night. Really?
One of us has a bad memory. I remember chatting with you 2 or 3 nights ago, but not last night.
Am I going a bit mad?

You don't have to be ironic to be post-modern round here.

# I checked...
Last night I was being hideously bullied by fatties.
It was the night before that I was banging on about the The.

# You've banged on about The The on two nights recently.
I was an eyewitness/accomplice on both occasions.

I only come here so I have someone to say goodnight to.
G'night.

# Good morning.
Nice pic. I like the way Fred Bassett there is looking wearily and reproachfully at us as if to say "See the shit I have to deal with?"
