Phineas Gage Crocheted Skull Proof that somebody, somewhere, is crocheting that. Yep, even that. Here’s the story of Phineas Gage if you don’t know it: Phineas was a railroad worker in the 1800’s. One day an accident drove a large iron rod through his skull. He did not die. The rod destroyed much of his frontal lobe. After the accident he displayed a (debatable) level of behavioral change, becoming one of the first pieces of proof between emotion and neural anatomy. (via DeweyDecimalCrafts on Etsy)
