[edit] The shape of squashed peas

If you get a bunch of malleable spherical objects and apply uniform pressure to them, for instance if you squeeze a bag of peas, the objects approximate rhombic dodecahedra. I hesitate to add this to the article, because I have no source and it's a fairly vauge statement anyway, but I think it's cool. —Keenan Pepper 04:35, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

The article could say something more explicit about close-packing. —Tamfang 05:34, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
You can also get Trapezo-rhombic dodecahedron cells as well - same packing density. Tom Ruen 06:54, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
