A very slippery golden rule/ratio, it looks like cheap aluminium but it
is painted to resemble a yellowish brick.
Often sold to sheep farmers in Indiana. It is NOT related to the Brown
Gerbil.
Though I enjoy the Golden Ratio and Fibinacci stuff [1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8,
13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144...]... I do think it hogwash when touted as the
absolute "key" to beauty in aesthetic design.
Then again, seeing as the Great Pyramid is through these mathematical
schemes aligned w/ Sirius, within our galaxy of origination, there may
actually be something to it.
