I don't know how I missed this wonderful geeky Thanksgiving project over at Instructables. I'd like to think that Martha Stewart is jealous of Turkey tek's 20-sided pecan pie, but I'm not so sure. Last time, I checked she doesn't use metal shears or high-strength magnets in any of her domestic projects.

Given that I'm a geek at heart (yes, this thing reminds me of the dice from Dungeons & Dragons) and that I didn't have any pecan pie for Thanksgiving I'm certainly jealous. The fascinating step-by-step instructions include photos of a schematic, a paper model and the details of the construction of the polyhedral pastry. Sadly they do not include a recipe, but my impression is that constructing the ~~icosagon~~ icosahedron was more of a challenge than baking the 20 triangular pecan pies.
