Porter Square snowdecahedron
You may appreciate the Porter Square snowdecahedron. This is what it sounds like, a dodecahedron made of snow. I couldn't find a isnowsahedron but I found these people rolling a giant icosahedral die down a snow-covered hill.
As for me, there's a mysterious dodecahedron-shaped lawn ornament in the backyard of the house I live in in Oakland, and we don't have snow.

Largest icosahedron ever?
Biggest icosahedron ever?
Some MIT students (I used to be one) built a 20-sided die in honor of Gary Gygax, the recently-dead inventor of Dungeons and Dragons.
Do you know of any physically larger icosahedron? (And, for that matter, how large is this one? I'm guessing maybe eight feet high, but I'm really just making that up. The building behind it is about four stories, but none of the other relevant distances are apparent.)
