Turman found a copy of The Graduate, and thought highly enough of the story that he made a movie he considered to be 90-percent faithful to the book.
But Turman and director Mike Nichols made one key adaptation, changing the Braddocks from WASP-y blonde characters into a dark-haired, more ethnic-looking family.

I believe this was caused by head binding, or a congenital disease. That baby, holy mother ofPretty freaky though. Ugly as sin too.

I would suspect a disease caused it. Egypt and North America natives did have head binding and they produced skulls that were cone shaped (coneheads?) which they somehow found to be aesthetically pleasing. To each his own!Originally Posted by Elistariel

Someone sent me a link about these freaky skulls, and the guy who wrote the article said anthropologists did not see any evidence that the skulls had been artificially created in those shapes by binding.

I have seen the alien autopsy, it struck me as phony though some hollywood makeup and special effects experts said its not possible to stage something like that without millions of dollars. I thought it was interesting this "home movie" was shot supposedly decades ago but only resurfaces recently when mass-marketing of DVDs is at its height..
I have seen a flying saucer. It was a collection of 3 redish lights hovering near each other about 100 feet in the air. I live not too far from an air force base so maybe they were testing something top secret. I don't think they are alien craft. :grey
But I'm interested in cryptozoology and discovering exactly what "rods" are.

The rods are bizarre. But a few months back this guy took video of insects (possibly it was birds) and it seemed to match exactly what the rods were, even with those little fins the rods have. The Roswell rods guy may have since been able to counter that...Originally Posted by ladygoeth33

At least the other one was more or less symetrical, not like these two poor souls.Originally Posted by Elistariel
Hmmm...some resemblance to the Sleestak! Maybe the skulls are not human!![]()

Here is another site about headshaping.

More on deformed craniaFrance
In some parts of Europe, especially France, head elongation was practised up until the late 19th century. In the Deux-Sevres area, head elongation involved wrapping the baby's head in a tight bandage. The binding was left for a period of two to four months and was then replaced with a fitted basket. When the baby was older, the basket was strengthened with metal thread.
In the Normandy region it was customary to bind a child's head with at least two coiffures (headresses) and a piece of canvas to tightly compress the skull.

Another theory I have is, that could have been the beginings of twins, (that didn't even go "siamese") Due to lack of nutrition for the mother, or whatever. Just a thought.Originally Posted by Gladstone
