Which is Spookier?
July 23rd, 2007
Is it:
1) a Mandelbrot Set the size (and perhaps even the shape) of the known universe,
OR
2) an image of me (or perhaps Dr. Zaius) found in a stain on a hardwood floor in a house in CT that I have NEVER VISITED OR STAINED?
(Thank you David and Alexander.)
Looks to me like someone dropped a hot coin on the floor.
Now there is a way to spread the word that jonathan coulton rocks (softly), brand his image on hard wood floors around the world…probably a good idea to put the web address, or at least his name though….as long has he can’t be traced back to the house….then he might get in trouble for vandelism.
I’m going to go with the spooky stain, because although the mandlebrot set does illicit cries of “look at the colors, man” if you’ve seen one mandlebrot set, you’ve seen them all, right?
Andrine(@3), it’s worse than that; if you’ve seen one mandlebrot set, you’ve seen them all infinitely many times! That’s universality for you!
Is it possible to stain a floor without having visited the location of the board? I wouldn’t say the mandelbrot set is spooky, on the other hand however I can’t see a face in the stain so what do I know?
That’s one badass fucking pareidolia!
See you at the Milkboy.
I think that the Mandelbrot Set video *must* be set to Dark Side of the Moon, or Thus Spoke Zarathustra, or something equally trippy. I don’t have the equipment. Someone, please do this!
I think it looks more like Che Guevara… the stain, not the Mandelbrot set.
I was thinking that the floor design was some kind of zombie Jackie O, but as I looked at it, I realized it was shaggily handsome.
Unless JoCo will be played in the biopic by Ron Perelman, I call shenanigans.
Also, upside down, that is clearly a miraculous image of a Canadian baby selling a vacuum cleaner.
He’s been showing up on my money

I saw Jesus in both of those.
And an elephant. Lying on it’s back. Wearing a hat.
Definitely Dr. Zaius.

Looks more like Jeff Lynne to me.
I feel like I am about to turn into a giant space baby…
