No mention of dodecahedrons has been found in contemporary accounts or pictures of the time. Speculative uses include:  A specific type of dice for a game since lost to history.  A magical object, possibly from the Celtic religion. A similar small, hollow object with protrusions was recovered from Pompeii in a box with either jewellery or items for magic.  A toy for children.  A weight for fishing nets.  The head of a chieftain’s scepter.  A kind of musical instrument.  A tool to estimate distances and survey land, especially for military purposes.  An instrument to estimate the size of and distance to objects on the battlefield for the benefit of the artillery.  A device for detecting counterfeit coins.  A calendar for determining the spring and autumn equinoxes and/or the optimal date for sowing wheat.  A candle holder.

Browsing through the config files and examining the startup scripts feels like peeking at the past life of someone. It's a glimpse into the mind of a young boy, who sat down in front of his Amiga one rainy autumn day in 1989. His heart was filled with purpose and his head with hopes of making his handle known and spreading some software - possibly written by himself or someone in the very group of which he was a member. Perhaps what's so calming is the contrast this provides to fast paced SaaS apps and terabyte SSD drives. I don't know. But I do know it still gives these disks a purpose today. And I'm very happy about that." Carl Svensson https://www.datagubbe.se/utildisks/#gallery
