Title: Re: B Post by: Sockratease on April 13, 2012, 04:01:35 PM Apparently he added it himself. It stands for no particular name. It was a recursion joke! (I did post it in the Humor section) If you substitute "Benoit B Mandelbrot" for the B, you then must do so again for the new "B" - and so on. Odd... Didn't think I'd have to explain that one here :evil1: No worries, it made me laugh, but so do many things which are not funny to others :clown: :gum: :surprised: Title: Re: B Post by: filagree on April 13, 2012, 04:31:15 PM :blindfold:Sheesh. Thank you for explaining that. Perhaps made it more of a joke, even ? Duh me. |
