Mission Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Why are they called deathhead buttons? Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?" John: "I don't know." Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Sterling Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 (edited) So far seems there is no know reason as to why they were called that... but they were also called Leek buttons http://www.employees.org/~cathy/buttons.html scroll down to 5d Mission, I believe there used to be a discussion on this some where in Twill...feel free to move my post there, if you are interested enough in finding it...thanks Edited April 14, 2010 by Capt. Sterling "I being shot through the left cheek, the bullet striking away great part of my upper jaw, and several teeth which dropt down the deck where I fell...
