The Golden Ratio

[jynxxxedangel]

Check out this website, it gives the simplest explanation of this mathematical phenomenon-- as well as links to more in-depth websites:

Golden Ratio

Who says math can't be interesting? I must admit, I'm a bit of a math noob. Math class was a source of dread (and nap time) for me, during my school days. Had any of my teachers taken the time to study concepts such as this, they might have actually reached the darkest corners of my corrupted little mind..

Related to the Golden Proportion which also makes for some interesting reading.

Unrelated to the Golden Shower, though, right?

Unless you somehow pee 1:1.618 toilet/person.

well he found it in this and now

i have spirals ALL OVER MY HOME

Also related to the Fibonacci number sequence. Not as good as Fibonachos though. I ate one of those once and I wasn't sure if I liked them or not so I ate another one. I decided it was pretty good so I ate two. By now I was pretty hooked so I ate three. I was pretty hungry so next I ate five. Next thing I know I'm gorging myself on eight. Those damn things are addictive and I started stuffing 13 in my mouth followed by 21. Fortunately for me we ran out because I don't think I could've handled 34.

There was a program about it maybe four or five years ago on either the History Channel or the Discovery Channel.
