       I remember a while ago you posted a list of face shapes and you
       listed either the triangular or oblong as "terminal", what do
       you mean by that?

       Here's an example of an oblong face:

       More examples:
       [quote]The Oblong face shape is similar to the Oval. However, it
       often gives an "overgrown" impression and its often extreme
       length makes the face too long overall to comfortably fit within
       an aesthetically-pleasing oval. Additionally, people with Oblong
       faces have heavy features which are not typically seen on Oval
       faces. People with this face shape are sometimes humorously
       referred to as "horse faced", suggesting the Oblong's
       proportions are just simply too long and heavy-featured to be as
       aesthetically pleasing as the Oval.[/quote]

       [quote]Whenever in doubt, I recommend going back to neoteny.
       While we agree that Oblong is less robust than Square, do you
       not think that Oblong is actually the LEAST neotenous of all the
       shapes, even less so than Square? I have seen children with
       Square, Pentagon, Round and Oval faces, but have you ever seen a
       child with an Oblong face? I haven't. Therefore Oblong could be
       viewed as a terminal group for selective pressure that minimizes
       neoteny.[/quote]
       [quote]Again let's look at how children's face shapes change as
       they become adults.
       Square adults were Square or Round children.
       Pentagon adults were Pentagon, Oval or Round children.
       Oval adults were Oval, Round or Pentagon children. (Note that
       this is the same set as the Pentagon.)
       Round adults were Round, Oval or Pentagon children. (Same set
       again.)
       Oblong adults were Oval or Square children.
       Not only is the Oblong the odd one out in terms of not being
       able to map onto itself, but also the Pentagon, Oval and Round
       taken together map onto themselves. This suggests to me that the
       Oblong is a dead end.[/quote]
       Another dead end would be the Hexagon:
