random weird thought

there's a super mario world speedrunner who goes by the name dodechehedron

he should go by 120chell when running 3d mario games

explaining the joke 

a 120-cell is the four-dimensional analog of a dodecahedron. like how a dodecahedron is made of twelve pentagons, a 120-cell is made of 120 dodecahedra

3D mario games are one dimension higher than 2D mario games like super mario world

thus, go one dimension higher than a dodecahedron and add the extra h from the speedrunner's moniker and you get 120chell
