Wilt's Stitches

I think you're right, Cassini. Some people scar a very different color from the rest of their skin, and MOST animals do. I still have visable scars on two fingers of my right hand from where those two fingers were actually severed in a freak accident 17 years ago, and had to be surgically reattached! I can still make out the lines from where the sutures were, even after all these years, and I'm a very light-skinned person. The more pigment people have in their skin, the darker their scars tend to be. I don't think that there are actually sutures still left in Wilt's skin, since suture material is either made to eventually break down and dissolve, or it will actually cause an infection and "rejection" immune response from the body.
