; FOTD -- May 18, 2011 (Rating ?)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; The version of today's discussion that appears on the FOTD web 
; site includes material that may be offensive to certain 
; sensitive individuals and has been omitted from this fractal-
; topic version.
; 
; I gave today's extreme-magnitude image no rating.  How could I 
; rate it when I'm not even sure it's real?  Oh, the image itself 
; is real enough, but is it an actual fractal or just an artifact 
; of mathematical imprecision?
; 
; In the end, it doesn't really matter whether the image is real 
; or an artifact.  If it's an artifact, it's a real artifact, and 
; with its ever-increasing series of rings, it makes a rather 
; interesting figure.
; 
; The image is located inside the usually-empty bay of a minibrot 
; in the Seahorse Valley area of the Mandelbrot set.  Those who 
; doubt this may back out of the scene and prepare for a surprise.
; 
; The name "Questioned Reality" refers to the questionable reality 
; of the entire image, and also to the questionable reality of 
; what we call the 'real' world.  
; 
; The calculation time of 5-3/4 minutes may be bypassed by viewing 
; the finished image on the FOTD web site at:
; 
;       <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html>
; 
; The high-definition image is available at:
; 
; <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html>
; 
; The classic original FOTD web site may be accessed at:
; 
;       <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/>
; 
; Heavy clouds and continued intermittent light rain prevailed 
; again here at Fractal central on Tuesday.  The fractal cats kept 
; dry indoors, but wished the outdoor temperature could have gone 
; above the actual high of 63F 17C.
; 
; The humans kept busy doing other things.  The next FOTD will be 
; posted in 24 hours.  Until then, take care, and does it take a 
; brain to make a mind or a mind to make a brain?
