I am going to introduce to my readers today what is known as the Archimede's Spiral. It is a thing to behold and her importance ranks right up there with oxygen, the wheel, and the Dallas Cowboys. Also known as an arithmetic spiral, Her distance grows from a fixed point at a steady rate. We can find this spiral in those black things people used to buy called "records" or in the common screw but also our DNA is formed with an Archimedes Spiral. Barbers poles would be nothing without it and you would not know where to get your hair cut so we would all run around looking like hippies. One could do worse than to research the namesake of this spiral as his genius surpasses many of the frogs who have inhabited this strange and wondrous pond called humanity.
