Experts from a US museum believe it could be one of the oldest examples of advanced surgery. The Museum of Osteology in Oklahoma said the skull is reported to have been that of a man who was injured in battle before undergoing surgery to implant a piece of metal in his head to repair a fracture.
Because they're experts and you're just some dickhead on the internet...?
Nothing wrong with asking critical questions and wondering how one can be sure of something! That's the first step of figuring out how stuff works - it's how every one of those experts started out. And especially so as the original post did not cite any sources. No need for the hostility! :)
My bet is they are Australian. We call dickheads “dickhead” for all sorts of reasons not just because they’re a dickhead.
Bingo.
Sorry about that, I assumed you were being a dickhead and it turns out you're just some dickhead. Fair enough!
"The bingos ate your baby"
Yes, I'm a dickhead as well
I said to shoot across her nose, not up it!
Sorry sir I’m doing the best I can.
Who’s that?
That’s Dickhead sir.
I know that but what’s his name?
That is his name sir. Major Dickhead.
Well who hired him?
I did sir! He’s my brother.
He’s a Dickhead too, sir.
How many Dickheads do we HAVE on this ship?!?
YO!
I knew it. I’m surrounded by Dickheads. KEEP FIRING, Dickheads.
So if I understand you correctly "dickhead" in this context is not an insult? 🤨
Not really. It’s like saying you’re just another idiot on the internet, not an expert. It CAN be an insult, but in the context above it wasn’t, or at least only a gentle one.
Edit to say, remember we are the people that call our best friends fuckhead and our enemies mate. And vice-versa.
No hostility. You literally are just some dickhead on the internet, it's how anonymous sites line this work... And come on, your basis for this was based on movies? How the fuck is anyone meant to actually take your line of questioning seriously to begin with? And the article included info to answer your question anyway. Sure, be critical, but actually be critical...
I do appreciate the healthy fascination with dickheads.
I wasn't even seriously suggesting that they had molten metal poured on them, just hoping to read more since no article was linked.
But there was no link to any article so who are these experts? I wasn't seriously suggesting they had molten metal poured on them, it was just my dumb way of asking for more info.
