Oh, OK. Weird irregular polygons and/or curved shapes.

I used to have a Zocchihedron, but it's not with the rest of my dice. No idea what became of it. It didn't work very well, anyway; like the golf ball it resembled, it would tend to just roll indefinitely on any surface hard enough for it to roll on at all, despite the weights inside that were meant to stop that from happening. More of an amusing novelty item than anything else.

(It's also a great case study in an engineer solving a problem that nobody had in the first place. :)
