1. And here I was expecting something on Bushes Brain

2. Here's Another...

[Solon]

5. Had those removed years ago....

My body tried to strangle itself, they were the size of golfballs, at the age of 8!!!!

[MrModerate]

7. Nope -- they're actually useful

Trap bacteria and viruses and produce antibodies (they're just not especially good at their job and get sick all the time -- like some people I know).

9. That Occurred to Me After Posting

but I couldn't resist posting the anatomical picture of a mouth so wide-open that it could belong to Steven Tyler or Mick Jagger :7

3. I think you'd miss two of those...

;-)

[Tikki]

4. Well, I've lived happily ever after they were gone....

gallbladder and gallstones

[sir_captain]

8. The gallbladder is still extremely useful, however

even though you can live without it...

It makes the digestion of fat much more efficient...

6. My nipples

unless I were to use them to dangle metal accessories from, like this guy

11. There's a tribe of people in Africa

who share parenting responsibilities equally between men and women. While the women go off to tend the fields, the men tend to matters of the home, allowing their babies to suckle from their breasts.

Some of these men even produce milk.

I read this in a book on breastfeeding when I was pregnant with my second child. I couldn't get Mr GoG interested in helping, though...

10. I'll have you know my Caecum is very useful!

He picks up around the house while I'm at work, and he even does the dishes. So there!
