Is it me or is there a SKULL-related posted at least every other day on Boingboing? What is the appeal? I realize that it's becoming fashionable and hip to wear and display these symbols, but are they representing? Piracy? Death?

Is this merely the co-opting, and reclaiming of a once negative thing, like the n-word, or the word "queer" or is it something more sinister.

Look throughout history others who have fastooned themselves in skull imagery:

The Nazis
The Skull and Bones Secret Society
Pirates
