The Golden Ratio - Phi - What is it Good for? Absolutely Nuttin.

Supposedly since creation of the universe (4000 years ago, yes) there is a number that determines how a sunflower’s seeds grow, how the veins arrange on leaves,  it determines the path a hawk takes when diving at it’s prey, it is echoed in the breeding habits of rabbits and it even determines how the spirals in a spiral galaxy are laid out. This is just the tip of this Devil-induced hysterical use of 1.6180339887 οr Phi (\Phi\,).  As its also used in music, geometry, writing, industry, finance, blah blah.  Its also used in art and painting.  Many times I've debunked the idea, by making lousy paintings, even though I followed the Golden Rule.
