  mesh for icosahedron

1) Does anyone have code for making a mesh which is an icosahedron?

2) Does anyone have code for making a N-triangle approximation of a
sphere (please don't code this just for me--does it already exist)?

3) Say I'm going to put a few thousand spheres in a union, but then want
to replace the spheres with meshes for memory's sake.  How many
triangles (I assume it's several thousand) does it take to cause the
same memory usage/parse time  as one sphere?
