I'm not sure if this will fly.
Is the code some crazy stuff? Why isn't an error thrown?

It's okay to have zero-thickness. For example, both stadia having zero thickness is a truncated cone. We should support that. So I don't think we should throw an error.
The description of the manipulations is here: https://github.com/chrisdembia/yeadon/blob/master/yeadon/solid.py#L397
I'd have to give a lot of background in the paper to actually describe the manipulation.
I'll clarify that the degeneracy is fine to have though.

Should this be: "for this case we compute the inertial properties of a truncated cone, see the code for details."?

Fixes #44.
