    Snail shells more closely resemble the Fibonacci progression.

    1+1=2, 2+1=3, 3+2=5, 5+3=8, 8+5=13 and continuing to be as large as the constructure needs to be. It becomes very strong!
    This progression is used in development of certain horn shaped musical instruments as well, but with predictable log fractions of each dimension, instead of whole numbers.

    I can't remember if it was Mandelbrot or one of his students that proved, using fractal geomtry, that the shoreline around the main isle of Great Britain was indeed, infinitely long.

    :dunno:
    I thought Mandelbrot was a German bread..

    Ok you asked for it.
    In mathematics, a fractal is a geometric shape containing detailed structure at arbitrarily small scales, usually having a fractal dimension strictly exceeding the topological dimension. Many fractals appear similar at various scales, as illustrated in successive magnifications of the Mandelbrot set. This exhibition of similar patterns at increasingly smaller scales is called self-similarity, also known as expanding symmetry or unfolding symmetry; if this replication is exactly the same at every scale, as in the Menger sponge, the shape is called affine self-similar. Fractal geometry lies within the mathematical branch of measure theory.
    It was even less funny after you explained it. All I know is 2+2=5
