    Judy Hoch is absolutely right. But the golden proportion (1:1.618)
    is much more than a pleasing rectangle to the eye, it is the number of
    the nature itself. It can be found in both Flora and Fauna, probably
    in rocks and minerals too. Even your own body incorporates this
    equation. 

    Try this: measure the distance from your elbow to your fingertips,
    multibly the result with 1.618 and you have the total length of your
    arm, from shoulder to fingertips. From your kneecap to the floor x
    1.618 gives you the total length of your leg. Measure the distance
    from your bellybutton to the floor, multiply with 1.618 and you have
    your total heigth 

    Much more about the golden proportion can be read in any book about
    Sacred Geometry. Curious, isn't it?
