I wrote something in AS a loooooong time ago that could draw regular polygons of any side number and size: [Polygons](http://forum.kirupa.com/t/polygons/201991) ---

It can compete for shelf space with this thriller: > **[A Million Random Digits with 100,000 Normal Deviates](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Million_Random_Digits_with_100,000_Normal_Deviates)** > > A Million Random Digits with 100,000 Normal Deviates is a random number book by the RAND Corporation, originally published in 1955. The book, consisting primarily of a random number table, was an important 20th century work in the field of statistics and random numbers. It was produced starting in 1947 by an electronic simulation of a roulette wheel attached to a computer, the results of which were then carefully filtered and tested before being used to generate the table. The RAND table was an ... ---
