I thought that’s where the bookbag came from… None of them wore it into the temple… And come to think of it, does this mean Bud has even Georgette beat in the metabolism department? Or is she disqualified?

damnit… he got to the post before I did. I recognized it as the Buckyball too… something I and at least two other chem majors and I made a model of in college with an organic molecular model set. It is the grown-up-chem-major-version of legos… (It also seems I cannot reply to bmonk’s post. Must be a limit to how many sub-replies one can do.) It is a D32 as per any truncated icosahedron, as per LL. I’ve also found ways to make large spherical models with origami used only a single folding unit technique. (No, it is not simply crumpling up the paper.) http://britton.disted.camosun.bc.ca/origami/sonobe.html If you add in an extra two folds (an extra valley fold between steps 3 and 4 so the folded edge from the corner comes to the same crease as the corner does in step 3, and you fold the finished unit in half), it’ll be pliable yet sturdy enough to make odd junctions of 4 or 5 or 6 edges at the corner compared to the simple junction of 3 edges at one vertex in a cube. Just felt like sharing in case anyone wanted to play around with that sort of stuff.
A d48 would look like this: http://thm-a01.yimg.com/nimage/185f6263e1fefdd6
A d50 would have faces shaped like a kite: http://www.icteachers.co.uk/children/sats/images/kite.gif as per http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dice

AKA Buckyball, or buckminsterfullerene.

It is not a regular polyhedron, having both pentagonal and hexagonal faces. It looks like a truncated icosahedron.

Yes, an engine block. And one time before that, an entire V8 engine.

The same thing happened to me while reading Serenity Rose http://www.heartshapedskull.com/ it’s a fun stress as a reader and I kinda liked it. =) Also, I’m evil.

Is anyone else getting agitated by him putting a mini-cliffhanger on EVERY. FREAKING. PAGE! I’ve faded the printing on my bloddy F5 key because of him. WS is worse than crack, now.

After playing dnd since ’78, I am oft heard yelling ’20!’ at everything from coin tosses to field goals, and no I will NOT admit to it that one time after sex.
So yeah, might be a d50 (even though it looks like a d20 I have that has two of every number) but guess what?

20!!
