Bob is a human skull that resides in my shed; before that he belonged to my dad, and before that, who knows? My dad is an artist, and he got a skull donated to him years ago as a subject, or for reference, I guess, by someone he was teaching. It has a removable 'cap' which is attached by a couple of brass hooks, and only a few teeth left. (And a pink stain inside from when my brother put fake blood in there when we were kids) Yeah I know how that sounds.
Anyway my dad visited a few years back, brought us a bottle of wine, presents for the kids, and a head in a bag.
I didn't want to freak my kids out (like I was at first) by having a skull on a shelf, so Bob lives in the shed.
So what should I do with him? Keep him? Or get him buried, or something? I was tempted a while back to incorporate him into a sculpture. Or wire up some yellow Leds for his sockets...
I'm on call and I'm bored so I thought I'd share.
