TIL that "mannequin" and "manikin" are not just two different spellings of the same word, but do, in fact, differentiate between an unposable statue that displays clothing and a model that attempts to be anatomically accurate and/or posable.

It’s just so cool to be able to take something and think, “How can I test this in a way that many manufacturers can run it and the test results will still be comparable in 10 years?”
