"The Hoberman Switch Pitch Throwing Ball is a $12 toy that instantiates
a dual polyhedron: every time you throw it, it turns inside-out; there's
a wealth of scientific literature that explains how this works,
including this open-access paper from the Journal of the International
Association for Shell and Spatial Structures
."

Fun!  Via Kam-Yung Soh.
