Permanent scarring is exclusive to humans and the stories of how some of these scars were received horrify their alien crewmates.

My little brother has a T scarred into forehead. Because when we were like 6 and 3 I thought it'd be funny to trip him. I didn't account from Grammy's sharp coffee table.

This one dude from the high-school group, Brian, has a triangular scar on his forehead. Because when I was about to flick my finished cigarette, i aimed it at his head. I had a ridiculously good aim for flicking butts back then. And I was aiming way over his head. But from his angle, I'm sure it looked like I was aiming right at his face. Hell, that was point.

Except he freaked and moved and the butt hit directly in the middle of his forehead. And then, after he freaked and swatted at his own head, he only knocked off the actual filter. The flaming hot cherry had stuck to his head.

There's actually one more that some people blame me for. But it absolutely wasn't my fault. Suffice it to say: a 2yo got a rottweiler tooth to the forehead. (not my 2yo, not my dog. Seriously, i just happent o be the first one to see it, and the kid's mom beer liked me anyways.

And then there was the girl that took a BB to the head from 5'. I wasn't even in the same country for that one!
