Now: Cool, underused Fusion art.
You know, do you have this uncropped, or is that it? Because I SWEAR that top right black thing looks like the profile of a Yoshi head.
Heh. Avitars.

in case you are wondering what my avatar is: its a fractal
in case you are wondering what a fractal is: its a selfsimilar mathematical object
i case you don't know what math is: that would probably explain why i never see you around.

But what's a selfsimilar mathematical object?

"parallel lines"
its an image which looks like itself on small scale (so a sandwhich wont do). To be honest i don't know the exact definition, even though i study math for 6 months now.
if you look closly at my avatar you can see that there are 6 different collored triangles. And if you look more closly you'll see that every of those 6 triangles looks exactly like the entire picture (maybe upside down). Thats what a fractal is. If you look at the one i posted in the art section you probably won't see this effect. that has 2 reasons:
1)the scale of repeating is too small
2)it's art. I've modified quite some stuff and added multiple layers (3 layers and 2 masks) to make it even harder to see.
however if you would zoom in on the white part of the image you wil eventually see exactly the same image. even though the colors have probably shifted but that can be changed back

I already chat with a math profesor online. HOW COULD SO MANY PEOPLE LIKE MATH!!!

lol you would be suprised. This year there was a new record of 1st year students at my university. No less then 21 (!!!!) math students
Heh. I have a friend who's a 1st year maths student at a university with about that many 1st year maths students. I, however, am a 1st year student at a university with hundreds of maths students. Although that could have something to do with my university being the best for maths in all of the UK a couple of years ago.
Quote from njahnke:
some people feel that looking at a good fractal is like looking at the face of God, or at least looking at a microcosm of His work. this is basically what Einstein thought.
Ow I didn't know that. Intresting though. I just loved fractals ever since i found out about them.

Well could be the UK. I live in the Netherlands. Most of the universities with a math course have about 10-30 first year students this year.

Just out of curiosity, how many people here live in the US?
I'd guess around 80%, much lower than anything I've ever seen. ;^_^
if i had to say, i'd guess much lower than that, assuming you don't count canada as part of the us.
I wasn't, I don't think the non-US is quite that low. Maybe 75%, but that's pushing it a bit...

Last time I checked, America Jr. is still America. :P
I'd peg around maybe 60-70%... there are more Canadians and Europeans online than you'd expect...
I'm another Brit! I'm from England, though.
I thought there were less Americans here than is "usual" for an Interent community, but I checked the memberlist, and even though half of us don't specify our nationality in our profiles there are WAY more Europeans here than I thought. 60-70% Americans is closer to accurate than some of you might think.
