    :D that's funny. one of the famous Chinese general labled as 'Betrayal Skull' was beheaded by his own man about 2000 years ago. due to betrayal of course. :D

    edit: oh ya, the guy got beheaded is the Wei guy in the article. :D

    i have noticed that he has a huge cranium, and it looks like death to be head butted by him. makes him look tough though and he is tough whatever you think about him

    That's a pretty sad story that some guy was killed because of his skull shape

    I just saw this on TrueHoop too, and I never before made the connection between the two (Boozer and Wei) until now... and it's not all that farfetched either for anyone having read/watched the Romance of the Three Kingdoms :D

    For anyone interested and/or bored at work:

    I choose to believe they call him that because all Chinese fans hate Utah as much as we do! ;)

    anyone who played the Dynasty Warriors game will remember that in game, Wei is incapable of talking intelligently. now i'm convinced that it's based on Boozer, not Wei himself. :D sorry carlos. i don't really hate you.

    Actually he was beheaded at the time when he rebelled.

    He refused some orders after the premier died (Zhuge), and shouted out loud: "Now that the premier has passed away, who can control me?!" Another general (Ma Dai) just beheaded him. When asked by other officials, Ma told them that the premier gave him the order to watch that guy, and be ready when he rebels.

    He wasn't killed because of his skull shape, but his skull shape and his behaviors warned the premier.

    Can someone check Artest's head and see if he's a championship winner?

    It should've been "a flopping douche from Utah."
