I'd forgotten about fractals. Can't you use the theory behind them to prove that the coastline of any country is infinitely long? Perhaps I'm remembering that bit wrong....
That's what a fractal is, a shape (with repeatable patterns) that's of infinite length. As with a country's coastline, you're right, because it's length depends on what resolution you're going to when measuring it."She is quite the oddball. Did you notice how she didn't even get excited when she saw this original ZX-81?"

Ah yes - the Mandelbrot set (among others).
[Useless fact no. 93]: There's a fractal generator app (XaoS) in the standard Ubuntu repository.0
