	I'm interested in computing the probabilities with which an
    irregularly shaped polyhedron lands on its various faces when
    rolled.

	This problem seems to have a certain "classical flavor" to it,
    and I'm sure work has been done on it, but I haven't been able to
    find anything on the problem.

	Can anyone point me toward any literature on estimating the
   odds for irregular dice, or on the physics of rolling objects?

	Thank you.
