sorry for the bad quality, my phone is bad up close
I hit my pinky finger real bad while hammering a nail when I was a kid, it broke off some of the skin but when it grew back it kinda has a divit in it. Doesn’t hurt or cause issues in any way but it’s just kinda a interesting part about my body that’s unique and I probably wouldn’t fix if given the chance.
I’ve come to love these little inconstancies that shows that a body has been used for fun and living, scars with a story are really sweet.
Extra pair of ribs, which was fun at trivia one night…
“How many pairs of ribs do human beings have?”
“Well, first you need to know I have 13 pairs of ribs, that being said, human beings have 12 pairs of ribs.”
Neat. And thanks to Marilyn Manson, we’re still on target to maintain an average of 12 pairs of ribs pp

Fun Christian bone trivia:
The “Adam’s rib” myth is obviously a retcon because even super primative people knew ribs were symmetrical. Hell, back then with less obesity and clothes, ribs were probably pretty obvious.
That’s not even getting into how bones are super obvious after death.
There’s one bone that male humans uniquely don’t have, and is related to why the Romans and Greeks thought a small flaccid penis was the peak of human masculinity.
We don’t have a literal bone in our boners.
A difference that humans would have noticed.
My left eye is like half the size of my right eye I guess.

I have never met someone else who has tested it, so I don’t know if it’s common or not, but I can blow air out of my tear ducts. When underwater at the pool, it looks like two narrow streams of bubbles rising from the inside corners.
Your tear ducts (and everyone else’s as well) are connected to your nasal cavity. It’s where tears drain and partly why we get runny noses when our eyes are tearing up.
Definitely more unusual to be able to force air the other way, but not impossible. I’ll sometimes do it accidentally if blowing my nose too hard.
You can push liquid through them too. Makes it look like you are crying milk/blood/whatever.
I have decided that this is dating advice.
Neat!
I saw a drag queen use liquid eyeliner on her waterline (you’re not supposed to do that) and it came out her nose lol
I have 5 spleens.
Have a weird nub of bone protruding from my lower jaw under the tongue. Like a little skin covered spike.
Oh, also have a “hair” (maybe more like a mole?) on each side of my abdomen that when agitated, I get a sharp pain on the inside of the corresponding elbow.

mandibular tori is what this is called. The Xray tech told me to ask my dentist about having it removed and the dentist said it’s a brutal procedure and recovery (literally shaving the bone down) so not to bother unless it’s causing issues.
Huh, I guess I shouldn’t be surprised it had a name :P
And yeah, I can’t imagine it to be a comfortable procedure. Sounds way worse than when I got my tonsils out.
I have a dark spot on one finger that came from my ex wife stabbing me with a pencil.
This is my left ring finger. None of my other fingers bend like that. 🤷🏻♂️
My big toes give a thumbs up. They are the reason why most shoes won’t fit. That, and that my feet are short but wide.
I can give thumb up too

When I was very young I stuck my index finger in fire, it burnt a chunk of it, so now I only have about half a fingerprint on that finger.
Once upon a time, as a kid, I cut myself with a razor leading to this cool scar. I used this scar for a very long time as a way of differentiating between left and right lol
Me OMW to unlock your phone with the fingerprint I just stole.
😮
I fell off my bike on my way to school and ended up scraping up both of knees. My right knee taking most of the damage, need stitches but I didn’t know any better, as well as, Usa healthcare being so expensive I didn’t bother going to the hospital. That wound open up whenever I bend that knee a bit too much, like going up the stairs or walk too fast, I had to limp on left leg and drag my right leg to avoid opening the wound again. It took months but eventually it healed. Now, the scar is forever on my right knee and just a minor eyesore. It looks bruised and smooth than regular skin. Also, because of that fall, whenever I bend my right knee, I can see a slight protruding bone bump. Doesn’t hurt though.
The dent in my fucking head where a doctor saved my life I guess. That & the sensitive skin around it.
I can’t make my pinky and ring finger touch my other fingers on my left hand. It looks like I’m doing a bad Vulcan impression if I try. I can however make them touch if I bend my fingers. But if they are straight, they flex out to the side. I’ve tried for years to correct it but had no success.
Similarly, my brother can’t make a peace sign because having the pinky and ring finger down causes his middle finger to push forward and he has to physically prop it up to get it in line with his index finger.
That’s pretty interesting. A shorter-than-typical ligament or something, maybe.
My left foot is UK size 8 and my right foot is UK size 9.
Do you buy 2 pairs of shoes each time?
No. I just get shoes of UK size 9.
The two toes closest to my big toe on each foot are “webbed” (connected up to the first knuckle). I’ve noticed people have this to varying degrees but I’ve never seen it as much as my dad’s side of the family. My right foot has it slightly more than my left.
I have a scar on the back of my left wrist from when my wife and I were in highschool and had just started dating. We were at her house while her mom was gone, and I brought over a hookah because we thought it was really cool back then.
She had the hose you smoke out of in her hand, and gestured towards me, pulling the whole hookah over sideways and slamming the coal into my wrist.
Burnt me a bit and left a sort of small rough patch there when it healed but its been a funny story for us whenever it comes up. I usually tell the story like she’s an assassin trying to kill me with a hookah :)
aww that’s sweet
