<DIV>> [If] fractals were alive, would they be animal, vegetable, or</DIV>
<DIV>> mineral?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Yes!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Since as far as we know, minerals are not alive, living fractals would have to be either animal or vegetable. But they are certainly not animal, nor are they vegetable. If they were either of these, fractals would be a possible source of food. Since no one that I know of has yet eaten a fractal, the only logical conclusion must be that fractals are not alive. I leave it to the fractalist to decide whether they are dead.</DIV>
