An interesting angle Mark, but I am looking for an eleven letter word that describes a wierd looking thingy.~

Mitch, I'm feeling ignored... A nonagon is a nine sided polygon. Or are you not looking for a polygon?

If you are looking for the name of a polyhedron with nine sides, I think it is a heptahedron. Teaching math occasionally has its advantages... I can say that right now because I don't have 28 11 year olds in front of me trying to decipher fractions. :>}
