If you want to eat enough spaghetti to feed 4 people, that's just fine. But one occasional annoyance of cooking spaghetti is getting just enough but not too much to slide out of the container. You may often struggle between acquiring more than a few strands and less than the entire amount inside the container.
Ori Saidi and Daniel Gassner of the Israeli design studio Ototo developed the Spaghetti Tower to solve that problem. It has 4 nested caps. Just select the size right for you, pop it open, then slide the spaghetti into your hand.
To promote the Spaghetti Tower, Ototo created this mildly disturbing video. It reveals the true horror of an excess of spaghetti in one's life.

In the Mandelbulb paragraph, there's a "#D" where I think you meant "3D", but that's a minor quibble. Great article!
Sorry, that's not correct, unless the isosceles triangle also just happens to be a RIGHT triangle (the hypotenuse is the side opposite of the right angle). An isosceles triangle is simply a triangle with two sides of the same length (an equilateral triangle is also an isosceles triangle, incidentally).
Btw, "isosceles" just means that at least two sides of the triangle are the same length--the third could be longer, or shorter, or even the same size.
So, you could have a very wide angle between the two same-length sides (as in your spidron) or
the angle could be very narrow (think of the top part of a capital A)
or they could all be the same length--every equilateral is also isosceles.
(But *not* every isosceles triangle is equilateral--just as every square is a rectangle ie, has 4 right angles, but not every rectangle is a square.)
