Yes, this was an actual fact, right smack in the middle of an article about hummingbird migration. Just so ya know.

Hummingbirds do not migrate on the backs of geese.

It's possible to have 77 givens and still be unable to solve a Suduko puzzle. Apparently.

Thor's word of the day: Rhomicuboctahedron. Your challenge; How many sides?

77 was a famous Swedish border password in the war, because it was so hard for the enemy to pronounce correctly

I think you missed a 'b' in there, Monster.

I have one of these on my doodad shelf at work. They were all the rage in the 80's. It is an Rhombicuboctahedron, sort of.

I actually went back and checked, and I'm not sure I have made one of those! I have done a rhombitruncated cuboctahedron, and it was one of my early ones.

Tan and brown.

I'm not sure what they were called, 'cause I only ever saw them being sold by street vendors. The black and white one I've got came from a street vendor in NYC.
