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:

 :blindfold:Sheesh. Thank you for explaining that. Perhaps made it more of a joke, even ? Duh me.
