I want to comment on the imprint with punch. Anyone who went to high school at some time has seen the imprint of a class ring in someones forehead. I think this one should be redone. Pig skin for one is a lot thicker than human skin, not to mention, there is muscle, tissue, and etc between human skin and the skull, that helps hold that indention. I would say that maybe in the real world it might not actually leave an imprint but it definitely will swell up in the shape of the ring and bruise in that shape as well. Also, the second shot at heavy weight strength on the slow mo it did not make direct contact with the forehead, it went at the top of the head and sorta slid off. Anyway, I would like to see this one redone.

Hey you teenagers out there that are going to do something stupid anyway, why don't you test this myth on video with your friends

i agree. i saw the slip and thought to myself "they can't let that pass as a result" and sure enough, they did.

also, why on earth would someone punch somebody else in the forehead? that would hurt the attacker much more than the victim. i think when the mythbusters revisit this myth they should aim at the cheek area instead of straight at the forehead. there's more of a chance for the blow to penitrate deep enough in the tissue to leave a sizeable imprint if nothing else.
