And neither am I a member of the Fibonacci Association http://www.mathstat.dal.ca/fibonacci/ http://www.fq.math.ca/

[Edit:] But there are some interesting data structures based on them: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibonacci_heap

Thanks - I was struggling to remember where I had heard of a practical application of the Fibonacci sequence in CS. The Fibonacci Heap was it - I'm pretty sure it was mentioned on my CS course and it must have been '87, same year it was published!
