Sure, the idea of putting a helmet on an infant makes sense from time to time. But what do you make the helmet out of? Genius idea! Whack the noggins off other, larger and less popular kids, chop up their skulls, scoop out their brains and plop the skullcaps (with flesh still attached) onto the heads of the infants that you actually do like. Because, sure, that’s not at all morbid and creepifyin’.

Normally I would suggest that this is a horrifying idea. But since this was found in Ecuador, it’s therefore a beautiful example of diverse cultures. Stunning and brave and all that.
