All of the geeky math friends that I have already know all about this. If you're one of them, please skim, nod, and smile.
The NON-geeky-math friends, lookit! Pinecones! Math!
Quite some time ago, I read that pinecones had something to do with number theory or impressive math or some such fucking thing. Today, while I was waiting for the ballot box to be delivered (we have primary elections on Tuesday, so they were delivering the ballot box this evening so's we could be ready. It's a metal box. For holding ballots. Paper ballots. Yes, we are in the stone ages here in BumFuck.) I took a few pictures of pinecones so that I could, with the help of
t3h interw3b, examine the pinecones and see if people were slinging bullshit or if the business what with math and pinecones was for real.
( No pinecones were harmed in the making of this LJ entry, though some were ripped from their trees for SCIENCE )![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
