The term "pit bull" used to (and still does, in a lot of places) describe almost any bully breed, Bull Terriers included. Although the egg-shaped head was bred into them, not too terribly long ago they used to look like small Staffordshires (read: pit bulls).
They, too, were bred to bait bulls and bears the same way the Staffordshire was, and they have the same percentage of "bad" dogs in the crowd (which isn't really much). They can be very stubborn and do whatever they want to, and need firm, consistent training. I second the "no kids" rule.
Also, 139355 is right: "due to the constant inbreeding of the species to maintain their unique face shape they usually end up with A LOT of problems - skin troubles, arthritis, cardiovascular problems, respitory problems - even problems chewing and swallowing food!!!"
