3D Sierpinsky Triangle
WARNING This can freeze up your computer. (My computer could only handle 5000 after about a half hour.) If you have a slow computer, reduce the "For" loop to a lower number, like 500, then work your way up to 1000.
For a better picture of what this is, see the wikipedia article on Sierpinsky triangles

Sierpinksy
This won't make a mathematical recreation of the Sierpinksy fractal, but it will merely make a pretty visual representation of it.

This is almost identical to the script above, but it uses bricks instead of the Output menu.
