The comic Foxtrot is one of my favorites and I think it is funny that such a geek oriented strip makes it into my local paper. Now if only they'd add Spider-man, Full Frontal Nerdity, Flare and the Phantom.
Those dice snowballs have pentagons for faces, but clearly are numbered up to 20. I'm sure this violates the laws of physics . . . oh . . . no . . . wait. It's a mix of pentagons and hexagons. So they are soccer ball shaped. Okay, so that would indicate 32 sides - 12 pentagons and 20 hexagons. So it's a 32 sided die. But still - the sides have different surface areas, so it will not a completely random distribution. This game is sooooooo broken.
My head hurts now. I think it's bleeding from thinking too hard. I need to go lie down.

Thanks for sharing this strip; it pains me no end that my local paper decided to drop Foxtrot, and this brought back some good memories.
That's pretty good. I enjoyed this snow comic. Glad you like the wallpaper fruit.
