You’ve got to be kidding? Paris Hilton? Dictionary listing for Skank – see Paris Hilton.

Dude there’s not enough penicillin or a strong enough condom in the world to keep you safe on that date. Hope your hot tub has lots of chlorine. And as skinny as she is, the heat might dissolve her to nothing but bones as opposed to just skin and bones. Plus she’s as dumb as a box of hair. And when I look at her, I think she’s not even pretty – sort of horse faced I think but then I’m not a guy so hey – what ever floats your boat.

Very high forhead, one of the signs of a capacity for high intelligence, so it has been said. I agree with you, a very different looking young lady.

One couldn't be mutiliated and be king according to the old legends. If you lost a hand in combat, for example. But this is the first I'd heard about intentionally mutilating someone's nipples...

Interesting forehead. Very high and broad, signifying perhaps a capacity for higher thought, a characteristic of intellectual elites.

From the ancient Irish FirBolg history, "Titatutoralineach!"

1)It all starts out as a harmless pre-pubescent Juvenile activity, titty twist....OUCH. Boys will be boys

2)Then in the post pubescent phase, it becomes a form of torture with feminine assistance...OOOOoooo! Boys and girls will be.

3)Then Aristocrats and nobles take it to the extreme by exclusion from peer groups via mutilation. Gaaaaaahhhhhh!

4)And if you really offend the King and his advisors: OFF WITH THEM!OOOOOoops! ( Depriving one of a crucial errogenous zone and the positive aspects of #2 above.)

****************** The modern version in a similar practise is exercised by the modern medical profession on behalf of patients who sometimes don't need it.

Oh, I think they just put the hairline too high.

I'd like to see "several faces" done by different "artists" with no contact between them during the reconstruction. I bet they would be sooooooo different that you wouldn't even guess that they were using the same skull.

Her face looks like perhaps...."Alice, Through the Looking Glass". In fact, I think its darn close to what is depicted in a circa 1880 copy I have.

The folks that do these reconstructions are "artists" and they are influenced by their own "concepts".

She appears to have had a really high forehead in this pic but the bog body does not give the impression that her forehead was that high.

I though so too, but everything changes shape when a body is mummified, and bones shrink and shrivel like a died up prune. I have noticed foreheads of similar height. Take a look at Anne Coulters ! Perhaps she also is an "alien."( LOL)

Hopefully all scientific knowledge will not be lost by then, unless you are intimating that scientists today don't know the difference between chicken bones and phalanges.
