Behind the 8 Ball

Wikipedia says:

"The Magic 8-Ball is a hollow plastic sphere resembling an oversized, black-and-white 8-ball. Inside, a cylindrical reservoir contains a white, plastic icosahedron floating in alcohol dyed dark blue. Each of the die's 20 faces has an affirmative, negative, or non-committal statement printed in raised letters. These messages are read through a window on the ball's bottom."

That's right, folks, the ever famous kid's oracle is secretly the gamer's ubiquitous d20. So grab one and consult the forces of the beyond the next time you sit down to game.
