Blatant Nerdism

I proved myself a nerd today (not that it really needed proving). I received this cryptic text message from my brother:

Hey engineer, what's the mathematical sequence that when graphed out it looks like a bug and it's infinite?

I thought for a second, trying to decipher what the crap he was asking, and suddenly realized the answer:

Mandelbrot Fractal

It was exactly what he was looking for.

That's why they pay me the big bucks.

I thought I was a nerd; but, you far exceed me in nerdiness.

I bow to the master.

All hail Max, Grand Poobah Nerd of the Mormon queerosphere.

I always knew you were a nerd, but not that big of a nerd! Thanks for playing with me when you were here! It was a lot of fun! :)

You're awesome sean. It was fun hanging out. And thanks for the ride to the airport. My mom appreciated it. :)
