I'll be more interesting if they find a giant's skull with a fractured forehead.

Sorry, David took the head so the body has to be headless.

"I'll be more interesting if they find a giant's skull with a fractured forehead."

Or if a really old, tall guy walks into the emergency room bleeding profusely from the head.

The homosexual community will hear of this find and claim they found him in a pink tutu and will claim him gay!

I'll be more interesting if they find a giant's skull with a fractured forehead.

Kind of like a...

rift valley
n.

A deep fracture or break, about 25-50 km (15-30 miles) wide, in the earth's crust, creating an elongated valley bounded by two or more faults.

http://www.yourdictionary.com/ahd/r/r0242800.html

There's this rift map here:

Rotate the map 90 deg and zoom out:

Crown = Sinai
Hair = Israel, Lebanon
Jordan = head and long neck (cf. Anakim = "long necked", aka giants)
Iraq = body
Baghdad/Babylon = heart
Kuwait = foot
Syria = wing?

In the normal position, of course, this giant Sphinx is prostrating toward Mecca. Note the rock (Petra) in his forehead, near the fracture in the skull:

No wonder it's called the Red Sea. That gash had to have left a mess. `:-]

1 Samuel 17:48-51

48 And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came and drew nigh to meet David, that David hasted, and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine.
49 And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead, that the stone sunk into his forehead; and he fell upon his face to the earth.
50 So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him; but there was no sword in the hand of David.
51 Therefore David ran, and stood upon the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of the sheath thereof, and slew him, and cut off his head therewith. And when the Philistines saw their champion was dead, they fled.

I wonder how sharp the sword was...

Note also the latitude markings on the first map. The Sphinx in Giza is on the 30th parallel and faces east... toward its own lionine image marked on the ground... The eye, for example, is marked here at 30N 36E .

The 30th parallel cuts through Ras an Naqb, the "head (chief point, summit) of the pass". You can get a sense of word development by comparing Strong's Hebrew #7218 (rosh, head) and #5344 (naqab, pierce through).
