This entire thread reminds me that there are other people out there more geeky than I *g* Though even I knew something about the golden ratio , or "det gyldne snit" as we call it in danish (which translate mean the golden cut/slice) .. not to be mistaken for "Det hvide snit" or the white cut .. which is the same as a lobotomy ;) I'd rather have a bottle in front of me, than a frontal lobotomy !! MUHHAHAAHHAAAAAAAAAA!!!! (Maniac grin)
