Remember that discussion we had about dice a while back, and the problems associated with the really cheap ones?

I'm interested in getting some dice that don't have those problems. But I'm having a hard time finding anything but the cheap tumbled ones. Even ThinkGeek's look cheap.

You weren't there for it.  Basically Silver Surfer was telling us how he saw this documentary on how dice machining now-a-days doesn't produce close to random dice; that lazy production values are producing oval or shaved edging that skewers results.  But for the life of me I cannot remember the phrase he gave us to check it out on youtube.

I'll see if I can get the video and post it, the disturbing news is that your d20 might be egg shaped.
