A friend of mine just got a 3d MRI picture of his skull. I'm
sure some VCP could put this on a computer pointillist carver
deal and render a life-sized version of his actual skull.
It would be really cool if there were a place that you could go
to get your entire skeleton recreated to hang
in your yard for
Halloween. Kind of a vanity thing, but it would be cool. Do
the whole family, even the cat and the dog.
It may even have some application for doctors who are
tactilely sensitive.

Snowflakes for [Loris]

These might convince you that all snowflakes could be unique. The amount of detail and variation is amazing. [spidermother, Apr 26 2011]

[+] ... think I heard that the Vatican has the skull of St.John at 8 years old and another one of the same guy after he was beheaded. |
|

Why stop at the skeleton? Print out your entire body. I could see the disect-yourself kit for pre-meds (using colored plastics for different organs), a your-own-doll for kids (complete with a full line of clothing and smoothed over private areas), etc. |
|
| |
Can't you just choose an appropriate same species skeleton and assert that it is yours? Unless you have a baculum or some other skeletal aspect diverging from species norm, it would be hard to disprove that it was yours. |
|
| |
Combine this with vat grown meat and eat yourself! |
|
| |
Print it out in miniature and keep it on a keyring. |
|
| |
[bungston] - It would be very embarrassing to have
everyone find out that you were fronting someone
else's skeleton (when the survivors hang up the real
one). |
|
| |
Already being done. The reasons are a bit more serious, and sane. However, when the porogen scafold printing tech becomes ubiquitous, then why not? |
|
| |
Hell, it could even be alive (in a sense) like a bonsai me... |
|
| |
Yes, Yes, and one more yes. What a great idea. I
want mine. |
|
| |
"Easily" obtained with a series of 3D scan and stereolithography (rapid prototyping). Uber expensive, and a very long and slow process though. |
|
| |
[+] yes, I think my skeleton is skinnier than me!! haha |
|
| |
I see, my own personalised Terminator...just what I always wanted... |
|
| |
I envision executives using a model of their own skull as a pencil holder. |
|
| |
I'd like to flesh it out with realistic organs and proceed to torture it "to death". |
|
| |
I've been worrying about losing my hair, mostly because my skull seems to have a funny bump or two (I hope it's extra brain, but my phrenologist ... (why does my browser's spellchecker know "phrenologist"?)) .... sorry, that just gobsmacked me out of where I was going... |
|
| |
Anyhow, people will see my misshapen skull over my dead body. |
|
| |
That's quite the image you've left us with there. |
|
| |
...could the //bump or two// be some bacon [baconbrain]? |
|
| |
They could be those little bone-buttons that you used to get
in bacon. Actually, they don't seem to exist anymore. Have
pigs changed their anatomy, or are butchers a bit more
careful these days? |
|
| |
That I am not authorized to disclose. |
|
| |
//They could be those little bone-buttons that you used to

|
| |
So that's what happened to the crispy bacon we used to have
before
the war? |
|
| |
Which war was that, exactly? |
|
| |
We are pleased to be able to inform you that BorgCo offers a
much cheaper, faster and greener method of obtaining not just a
model of the cat's skeleton, but the actual genuine skeleton itself.
.. |
|
| |
Admittedly, the method isn't a very positive experience for the
cat. |
|
| |
//Which war was that, exactly?// Has there been more than
one? Dang, I really must catch up on my newspaper reading. |
|

There are a multitude of cranial variations within what most would consider normal. Hence phrenology. I am almost certain I could differentiate between a copy of my skull and a randomly picked human skull, as could most anyone else with the level of vanity required to want one of these. |

[8th]; I heard that after the loss of the piece of fairy cake, you returned the vortex to Fully-Mission-Capable status with a piece of alley cat. |

Is every skull unique, like snowflakes?
(FWIW, I don't actually believe that about snowflakes). |
|
| |
Funnily enough, one of my ambitions is to get my skull turned into a paper-weight. I like to think of it resting its upper teeth on the desk of one of my descendants. I've not actually done anything about arranging it yet, though.
Why? Well, there's a blessing (perhaps ancient and chinese) : "May all your wishes come true, except one". It's good to have a plan which can't be brought to fruition until after I'm dead. |
|
| |
Beware, [Loris], some might see that as an opportunity- or
indeed a challenge. .. |
|
| |
//Is every skull unique, like snowflakes?// |

Down to the cellular level? I don't see how it couldn't be. I'm sure even identical twins would have subtle differences due to external factors whilst the cranial cartilidge ossified. |
|
| |
To me, most of the suturing between cranial plates looks totally random, at anything below an half-inch level. |
