Really. One of my disgraced ancestors told me so during an otherwise uneventful game of Ouija Scrabble last night (I won with “Brobdingnagian” again). A spirit identifying himself as Benoit Mandelbrot suggested that “Boof Bonser” may well be the karmic equivalent of a – ready for this? – strange attractor.

And who am I to call out Benoit Mandelbrot?
