@baillehache_pascal And I literally just discovered this: "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." (https://math-soc.com/biographies/benoit-mandelbrot/ ) So I think this was actually HIS joke! Or maybe he just 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!!!
