    Innocent victims of merciless crimes, fall prey to some madman's impulsive designs.

    Step after step we try controlling our fate. When we finally start living, it's become too late.

    Nice suggestion, but no. I don't have the patience to do anything like that.

    Hint: it's a naturally occurring structure - I didn't arrange it, paint it or edit the photo in any way - I just snapped it as is.

    Romanesco broccoli/Roman cauliflower. I had to go look up the name but I knew where I'd seen the picture since it was just a few months ago. I would like to know how it tastes compared to regular broccoli.

    YAY! Well done!!

    It came in a vegetable box that my girlfriend bought yesterday. The only time I'd ever seen anything like it before was in a physics textbook - those shapes are fractals. Each of the little cones is made up of smaller cones, which are made up of smaller cones, which are made up of... etc. etc.

    I've not tasted it yet. I'll let you know what it's like when I do, provided it doesn't cause me to fall into some weird infinite vegetable paradox.
