philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 10/14/2012 5:53 pm Another nice one, v! I have a feeling that the attributes that prompted the name "African Head" would no longer be considered politically correct in this day and age. Report this Post to the Staff
vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 10/14/2012 6:04 pm Thanks p! Yeah, I've thought about the name too...I think not. rachums, it's a Miller 4.1-f.4 nicknamed "African Head". There is also a "Hercules Head", "Muttonhead" to name others. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
