F.O.T.N. (Fractal of the Night) 11 May 1998 (Mother To Be)


It is still Mother's Day as I receive an unscheduled FractoFax (TM) which is very unexpected. Maybe that is not the right word for it, but I'm getting ahead of myself.  Let's try to get the sound track on this FractoFax.

Dr. J is talking. "I'm fine! Look, I've reiterated my filaments. I'm a fully functioning fractal, ready to go. Now, let's pay the bill and go home."

"It is already paid." she replied. "Let's go before they start asking about my uniform."

Dr. J and his wife Dr. E are well down the hall on their way out of the hospital when Dr. E yells in pain. "Oh my! Oh my middle!" She doubled over and sat down. The doctor hurried her to the emergency room where they examined her and took Z-Rays.

"There was no doubt about it. You are expecting." the doctor told Dr. E. She is a Mom to be. See Figure 1.

I would guess Dr. J better be a more careful Mad Scientist in the future, now that he will be a Dad!

This FractoFax was sent automatically by the hospital insurance database. I will not explain how I set that up. One never knows what one might find out snooping around.

Feel free to zoom into the fractal with your own FractintoScope 19.6. And Happy Mother's Day as you explore the new fractal on the way.

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.
