; FOTD -- November 17, 2005 (Rating 6)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Today's image subtracts a little Z^5 from some Z^3 before adding 
; C.  The result is midget not quite like any I have seen before.  
; In fact, it's not only the midget that's weird.  The whole area 
; of the parent fractal in which the midget lies is kind of weird. 
; It deserves more investigation, which I will likely give it in a 
; day or two.
; 
; The real p1 and p2 parameters are critical.  Even a small change 
; totally loses the scene.  The rating of 6 seems about right for 
; the image.  The render time of 1-1/2 minutes is lightning fast, 
; but a download of the finished image is more convenient.  That 
; download may be found on the FOTD web site at:
; 
;        <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; While browsing the December issue of 'Scientific American' 
; magazine recently, I came upon a speculative article stating 
; that spacetime might be a kind of fluid much like the luminifer-
; ous ether of 19th century physics.  If it were so, it would mean 
; the end of 20th century ideas such as relativity and quantum 
; mechanics, but since these theories are mutually incompatible, 
; their time to fade into the past might be approaching anyway.  
; I may have more to say about all this new stuff once I have read 
; the article more carefully and given the topic more thought.  
; Right now I will only wonder what the spacetime fluid is sup-
; posed to be made of.
; 
; Wednesday was warm enough here at Fractal Central, but it was 
; breezy, and there were frequent showers.  The cats spent the 
; afternoon sulking on their window shelf, watching the wind blow 
; and the showers move over.  My day was fairly routine, with only 
; a minimum of sulking.  The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. 
; Until then, take care, and is the world of fractals good, evil, 
; neutral; or is it whatever one makes of it?
