here is part of the transcript from that show:

Do you know what an oloid is? It's a three-dimensional curved geometric object comprised of two linked congruent circles in perpendicular planes.

But this guy is legit. He's done more time than I've been alive. Call it off. I'll find another buyer. I don't need you. He asked me to give you this. He said he knows your work and he wanted you to know... ( speaking Italian ) What the hell is that? An oloid. ( chuckles ) I didn't need to do much to enhance the guy's reputation. Gianluca Silvano's got a rap sheet 30 years long. He was hardcore Italian mafia before he became Stabler's CI. I just beefed him up a bit.

Notice how every part of the surface touches the table as it rolls? It's a unique geometrical puzzle, two congruent circles linked in perpendicular planes. I'm not big on geometry, boss. What a surprise. The oloid was the logo of my first business venture. Mastaba. I chose it because it's a perfect hybrid of mathematics and art. So the Italian did his homework. And then some. This gift tells me that Gianluca Silvano is intelligent enough to speak to me in a language that few others would understand. And thorough enough to be worthy of my trust.
