Did anyone here mention this?  I just stumbled upon it clicking around and reading.
Without his work, we all wouldn't be here.

Just an amusing song I heard on Pandora a few weeks ago:

Just had Pandora on running while I was doing some work, when my brain was like "WAIT... is this song singing about a Mandelbrot set?"

Quite amusing.
