How dare you! :moon:

Pascal's triangle just happens to be a description of splitting in NMR spectra in one of those odd 'mathematical theories that correspond exactly to stuff in the real world' moments.

The Fibonacci sequence and flower petals is another.

Yeah. Math is like science, except distilled down to the basic logic where it really doesn't apply to anything anymore.

The next part of the sequence is:-

e n t e t t f f s s e n t...It's the first letter of each number. :tongue:

Alive without breath,
As cold as death;
Never thirsty, ever drinking,
All in mail never clinking.

I know it, so i can't answer.
How's this?



Covered with dust, I sit on a shelf,
A window to places far out of reach.
I show you the things you cannot see yourself.
The way that I touch you is different for each.

That's too easy. I'll leave it, and my one, for someone else.

Yeah. I wrote it on the spot, so it's not very good.


Lemme try again.

Fragile I am, but I show you the way.
When the future is dim, I brighten your day.
Don't look right at me, or use me too long,
Because if you do then things will go wrong.

How bout a laser pointer? If there's a cat in the room that sure brightens my day. And you should never look in the laser with your remaining eye.

Some of them get too hot and burn out, I think?

A gateway to the wider world,
Compact, sleek, and shiny.
Like a many tentacled monster
I shine a light into your face,
and fill you with knowledge.
