Nontrivial geometrical effects in relativistic central collisions of deformed nuclei are studied using a simple version of the optical Glauber model. For very small impact parameters, large centrality and eccentricity fluctuations are observed. In very high-multiplicity collisions of oblate nuclei, a significant fraction of events with nonzero elliptic-flow strength {upsilon}{sub 2} proportional to oblateness parameter -{beta}{sub 2} is predicted.
