I wonder if the minifig head with a hollow stud on the top is the "anti-choking"
device. From the picture on the page it seems they are compairing a minifig head
with a solid stud to one with the current hollow stud.

That was what I always believed .. I am sure I read that the round bricks
were just the right sort of size and shape to get stuck in a baby's
windpipe, so they made the tops hollow to allow a little bit of air through.
I could be imagining it though ... or am I?
