    "Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words - "mank" and "ind". What do these words mean ? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind." ~ Jack Handey

    Looks like a bunch of snails swarming over something, can't wait until I have my new tank with metal halides.

    It looks like a close up of romanesque broccoli which does grow in a fractal pattern. Maybe we could call it fractal cauliflour?
