Get it, because Trepanning is medically drilling holes into people's skulls to relieve pressure?

They did it in the ancient world, man! And it's still done today, actually.

Because a skull is bone- and it actually grows back a little over time.

Well- to clarify, a special type of bone in the skull grows back.

There's like- an inner and an outer layer to the skull.

I can't remember exactly, but I know that it wasn't necessarily drilling the whole way through and into the brain.

Yes.

Particularly in primitive times when most weapons were blunt- therefore, a lot of the emergency surgery needed was about allowing the brain to release pressure so it wouldn't kill you by pressing itself up against the inside of the skull due to swelling.

And also- bleeding on the inside of the skull.

Trepanning's also useful for that.

And of course- headaches.

It reminds me of- how I couldn't use a medieval instrument for it.

Like- i was doing a sub-par job.

Luckily it was a watermelon and not a person.

And I joked that- if I was a paid assassin- I would probably use "medical accidents" to cover them up.

Basically- since one of the other tools looked like a giant arrowhead that you use as the drill- just jamming that thing in there as a stabbing implement.

I just realized.

Assassins are usually smooth in fiction, subtle.

They don't really say-

"Just jam that thing in there." in regards to stabbing someone.

And now- I want to write a cockney-assassin.

Also, have some Intimidated by Abnormalities music.

And now- I leave.

There's a bunch of wiki pages here.

Just look it up. The titles pretty much explain what should be there.

But aside from that we have a Wikia page.

Unfortunately I just checked it and someone deleted the huge page I just did.

Where's the Wikia page? Google keeps leading me to The Last Airbender.
