@lcamtuf@infosec.exchange Oh my God, guys. GUYS!!! "Mandelbrot was a bit of a rebel in the mathematical community ... He also added the middle initial ‘B’ to his name himself, even though it did not actually stand for anything." (source: https://math-soc.com/biographies/benoit-mandelbrot/ ) So I think this was actually HIS joke! Or even better, he deliberately didn't make the joke, but set it up and left it out there for someone to discover, just like he found fractals waiting out there in the universe ⚡ This man was a DUDE!!!
