I even saw a 100-sided die one time.  It looked a lot like a large golf ball.  
Took forever to stop rolling.

Dude!  You never played Dungeons & Dragons?  Two 20-sided dice
(icosahedra) give you a number between 00 and 99 with an even probability
distribution.  Picture at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icosahedron.
Octahedra and dodecahedra (12-sided) are used as well.  We even
occasionally used the more famous hexahedron.

I thought all computer geeks played D&D ....  :-)
