Okay, the source is posted in p.b.sf, but I have to confess that I was too
lazy to make the sphere properly, and if you look at it from the top, you
will see gaps near z = 0.  I'm sure there is a relatively easy math fix,
(probably using polar coordinates, or a different set of steps) but I just
wanted to post the obligatory sphere with plane.

I was also flirting with creating the stones the appropriate distance from
the center, and then just rotate them, but I liked the way this looked
enough to not even try.
