Ancient Britons 'drank from skulls'

Ancient Britons were not averse to using human skulls as drinking cups, skeletal remains unearthed in southwest England suggest.

The braincases from three individuals were fashioned in such a meticulous way that their use as bowls to hold liquid seems the only reasonable explanation.

The 14,700-year-old objects were discovered in Gough's Cave, Somerset.

Well, 14,700 years ago you couldn't just run to the store for bowls. You used what nature gave you.

doesn't everybody drink that way? I wonder why people stopped attending my coffee mornings

I thought it was just cause I made my coffee too strong maybe was the sculls and finger bone stirrers that did it!
