Word of the Day

And today's word is:

garrulous: adj 1. pointlessly or annoyingly talkative 2. wordy origin from garrire 'to chatter, prattle'.

Not something I suffer from, ofcourse. :D

The best of the web on garrulous:
50's TV
Cartoons
I typed garrulous into stumbleupon and this came up.

WTF

Oh, internet, you are strange.

Fractals, like me, are unbelievably cool.

The Factual Fractual.

Sounds good doesn't it? Even if it is a bit of a mouthful.

So what is a fractal, and why am I so damn factual about the things? A fractal is quite possibly the most amazing thing ever. It is a self-replicating shape. For instance, a triangle that sits on the side of a triangle. And has a triangle on each of its of its side.

Infinite possibilities. But this isn't some straight-line perfect-circle nonsense we've been obsessing over for the past 2,000 years.

This is your arteries, arterioles, capilliaries.

A tree trunk, branches and twigs.

The length of a piece of string. (Which despite the clear finite nature of string, according to some physicists is infinte. I know. Bizarre).

So there. Fractals. The building blocks of life etc.

But they are quite pretty.

And I intend to be factual about these things. Atleast from my perspective, anyway.
