A D20 solves everything except a tricorn hat

An oldie that I forgot to post before - by way of Unqualified Offerings, Any sufficiently advanced physics will be indistinguishable from D&D.

In an effort to understand how molecules and colloidal particles with different symmetries might form structures in glasses and liquids, some physicists decided to study dice of various shapes.

A link to the paper shows that yes, they used D&D dice for their platonic solids

And Southern Beale points out that the movie Bob Roberts predicted the Tea Party movement in 1992. Watch the trailer, it even has the tricorn hats. (Actually, watch the film if you get the chance, it was pretty good if I remember.)
