About
I have achieved a degree of civil attrioneering (grande cum laude), and I've got a minor in under-the-influence basket weaving. (I did not take the 400-level scuba component - very dangerous!) Someday I will make something which will rock you all so hard that your gonads may cease to function, or they may cease to cease to function. One particularly compelling dream of mine involves kinetic heretical religio-idolatrous pornographic topiary. (oh yeah! You just got very hard/wet or very soft/dry!)
I am the founder of autodeconstructivism - a VERY IMPORTANT school of architecture and design. Any competent architect, engineer or designer must be able to immediately recognize work belonging to this school. Perhaps the most famous example of autodeconstructivist architecture is my geoduckshit dome, erected on a beach of the Oregon coast, at low tide, by elderly Orangutans on methadone. The project foreman was a lumpen prole on Xanax, which he took illicitly in place of his prescribed antipsychotics. I didn't expect him to confuse the Orangutans for policemen. I didn't know the Orangutans were wildly incontinent. My assault rifle was supposed to be loaded with blanks. I was quite drunk on the day of erection. I accept no liability in the matter. I don't know whose idea it was.

I just found instructables.com a few days ago, and just found your spherical dodecahedron tonight. I am also fascinated with polyhedra; but must confess that my high school and college geometry 1. were decades ago and 2. were not enthusiastically studied at the time .... so, although I like them, I must admit that the math and the topography are a little above me at times. Never mind. Here is a page of good links related to polyhedra: http://websites.quincy.edu/~matskvi/ddd/resources.html
... and I thought I was hot stuff when I made a paper model of a soccerball (truncated icosahedron) and stellated it...
BTW, I entirely agree with, and applaud, your response to the idiot who thought some of the things you said might be inappropriate for young minds...

One more comment and then I'll shut up. Your basic hexagon could just as easily be developed as a soccerball; result would be symmetrical from any angle, and would still be spherical. You would need 20 of those hexagonal modules, and they would be separated by 12 pentagonal voids. (well, of course, they need not be voids - just put 5 dixie cups together. There will be a void in the middle of each pentagon, rather smaller than a dixie cup, and I guess if you wanted to, you could find a smaller size dixie cup that would just fill that in...)
