; FOTD -- December 09, 2011 (Rating 7)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Today we take the last and perhaps least trip into the parent 
; fractal that has kept us occupied for nearly one week -- the 
; fractal that results when 5 parts of Z^0.7 are subtracted from 5 
; parts of Z^(0.5) and C is added on each iteration.  This parent 
; consists of a Mandeloid with a main bay rotated 180 degrees so 
; that it's East Valley is on its west side.  The largest bud, 
; which lies east of the main bay is shaped somewhat like the body 
; of a violin.  At the far end of this large bud, where the main 
; spike would be expected to sprout, lies nothing but a huge 
; valley with a vast emptiness beyond -- I call this nothingness 
; "The Great Unknown", which also happens to be the name of the 
; image.
; 
; The image lies on the unknown (east) side of the north branch of 
; the huge valley, where only limitless chaos surrounds the few 
; minibrots.  This chaos surrounds the central minibrot in today's 
; image like a 'mystic forest', which is a name I almost chose for 
; the image.
; 
; The image, with its brilliantly colored slices, is well worth 
; seeing.  But it has one huge drawback -- it is slow, taking 20 
; minutes to finish, and making the calculation a task.  When the 
; individual fractalist finishes the calculation, he will have to 
; decide for himself whether the image on his screen is worth the 
; 20 minutes that were required to calculate it.
; 
; Luckily, there are online web sites where the finished image is 
; conveniently posted.  The official FOTD web site is at:
; 
;       <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html>
; 
; and the high-definition web site is at:
; 
; <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html>
; 
; The original, now classic, web site is at:
; 
;        <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/>
; 
; A mixture of clouds and sun, and a temperature of 45F +7C, made 
; the day close to average here at Fractal Central.  The fractal 
; cats spent most of the day getting used to the new furniture 
; arrangement in the FC living room.  By the end of the day they 
; both had pretty much adjusted to the change.
; 
; My opinion is that the new furniture arrangement is about as 
; workable as the old.  In other words, I'm neutral.  FL is not 
; yet totally satisfied with the new layout however, so I would 
; not be surprised if more changes are soon made.  The next FOTD 
; fractal is almost sure to appear in 24 hours.  Until then, take 
; care, and when a neurologist begins worrying about his brain, 
; he's in an infinite loop.  His mind is thinking about his brain, 
; while his brain is the source of his mind.
