It's one of the ways they can tell a female skeleton from a male skeleton.

Aren’t her elbows bending the wrong way in that picture?

Would they bother to take a head-to-toe photo for someone who isn't cute? Anyhow, I think that was a brilliant idea. Prototyping chips is way too expensive for smaller labs. It costs big labs a crap ton of money to debug and prototype. Yes, her appearance is very nice! Would they bother to take a head-to-toe photo for someone who isn’t cute?

But when I was a kid shrinky dinks always warped or curled up on me. Do they make them better now, or was it just that my lack of coordination extended even to inanimate objects? Oh - for what it's worth I thought poster #2 was talking about the cuteness of high-tech shrinky-dinks. Of course I could be wrong. That is just about the coolest thing ever!

Can't wait for the RepRap machines (or whatever similar things are call in a couple of generations of development) to get a little more sophisticated and precise, so everyone can have a fab.
