Sid, here's an introduction to Fibonacci numbers that I promised. All of the info is on one page so depending on your download speed, it might take a while but is worth it. there's some neat little things to try too.
I really think this site would be useful in teaching students to develop an interest in numbers & why math is so important. Even if they never chose to do math themselves, they can still appreciate it. And we're never to old to develop that appreciation ourselves.

I'll get to the fractal geometry later.
