They look a bit too boxy and shiny, but good.

Didn't have a clue what a "lentil" could possibly be so I looked it up.
len*til (noun)
[Middle English, from Old French lentille, from Latin lenticula, diminutive of
lent-, lens]
First appeared 13th Century
1 : a widely cultivated Eurasian annual leguminous plant (Lens culinaris) with
flattened edible seeds and leafy stalks used as fodder
2 : the seed of the lentil
I can only guess they are this. That envelope could be a little lower as had
already been mentioned.

Really nice pic.
I cannot believe that anyone is not familiar with lentils.
I got some in my crockpot even as I type.
Almost as good as spit-pea.
Not that your green supers have any relation to a lentil. :)

I'm familiar with them. My mom used to make lentil soup all the time.
Really not bad stuff tho a tad gritty.

Considering I've never even seen a lentil, let alone eaten one, I'm
pretty happy with how it turned out...

(a) Do not meet the requirements for the grades U.S. Nos. 1, 2, or 3;
or

So do you plan to upgrade your lentils after you have them a bit less
boxy? :-)
BTW, I'm quite fond of lentils, and I've seen quite a few in my day.
These are the right color (though I have also seen orange lentils), but
actual lentils are a bit more round - they're actually shaped like
M&M's, but a bit thinner, smaller, and with a seam around the edge
(they're dicots after all).

Aha!
The only image I saw of lentils was a tiny little ad in an online shopping
place.. not much of a reference. I may fix up the image, but I'll probably
leave it as is.
Sometimes I get an idea, and just work all evening on it. When this happens I
like to leave it as is, since it's really a spur of the moment kind of
thing...

I haven't seen a lentil recently, but meseems the intersection of two
spheres ought to be pretty good -- about like this, for equatorial
radius 1 and axial radius D, if I'm not too sleepy for analytic
geometry:
#declare D = 1/2; // 0 < D <= 1
#declare R = sqrt(1+D*D)/D;
intersection {
sphere { <0,DD,0>, R }
sphere { <0,-DD,0>, R }
}
(I'd try it, but I haven't got povray installed in my new penguin pen!)

Yea, I know just what you mean.
There should be a name for this.

Buddhists have a philosophy of "First thought, best thought". I find this works
well on exams, too.

Anti-Grav Lentils, Take ten of thes per day for
five days and you're guaranteed to be able to fly
from the top of the tallest building in town or
your money back.
