Has the Mad Scientist of Fractal Space over done it? Of course! And he is still bent out of shape. In Figure 1 we see Dr. J's right shoulder is almost as large as his head! Looks like he may slept wrong side up or did he dislocate it when he tried to get even with me last night!

Figure 1. Sore Shoulder.
Tonight's fractal is near last night's, using a derivative of a formula originally by Paul Carlson. This, along with last night's fractal, are about as distorted as I've seen. Here we see the period 5 bud (between period 2 and period 3 buds) very swollen. In case you can't figure this one out either, the head (and 'spike') are aimed at nearly 90 degree angle to your right. Again, count the filaments on a bud to tell its period!
Sleep on one shoulder all night, and you too might get bent out of shape!

The parameter and formula files for Fractint are included below. Copy them
into a quickie.par file for quick loading into Fractint. For longer term
use, copy the frm: block into a FotN.frm file. But this time leave off the
'frm:' part. Then copy the rest (the par parts) into your FotN.par
file.
