June 17, 2007: Pacman skeleton

I don't buy it. Pac-man's skull should have a prominent sagittal crest (like a gorilla skull, or as on a carnivore such as a big cat). That's where the temporalis muscles (for jaw closing strength) attach.

For a critter like Pac-man, you'd expect robust musculature for those massive choppers, which this guy doesn't have. The skull depicts a beast that's all show, and no chew.

Realism, I demand realism! :P
