Your body is a wonderland

Have you realized how unnecessary some human body parts are? Maybe they used to serve some purpose but here's to hoping evolution kicks in gear and takes care of them.

That doesn't look like supplementary information
at the end of a book or paper to me...

How many functions does one's appendix serve? I'm pretty sure it's zero. Some say that it used to function as the area where toenails and hair were broken down. It was like a second stomach for cavemen.

New research, however, suggests it has something to do with the immune system. I don't buy it. I'm going to continue thinking the appendix serves no purpose whatsoever.

Another example, nipples on a man. What's the point? We don't breast feed anybody. I suppose it gives something for teenage boys to torture each other with (purple nurple anybody) but other than that I don't see the point.

It could possibly serve as the
epicenter for chest hair...
at least for Jake Gyllenhaal

Wisdom teeth are a pain. As far as I can tell, they serve no purpose besides supplying oral surgeons with income. They certainly don't make you any smarter (from what I can tell). All they do is hurt, get in the way and cause your dentist to remind you every time you visit him/her to get them removed.

One more. Leg hair. What's the point. As far as that goes, what about arm hair, chest hair, armpit hair, back hair, etc. What's the point of any hair? Half of it gets shaved off anyway. People with alopecia seem to survive just fine (except for the constant stares and negative perceptions applied to them).

It does serve one purpose: artistic expression.

  1. 1. I'd love to have no leg hair. That'd save me lots of time.

    2. My roommate and I were just pondering the man-nipple debate the other day so your comments made me laugh. We decided that men would look really weird if there were random lumps on their chests with no nipple. But that could just be some psychological conditioning.

    3. That last picture...no words. Where do people come up with this stuff?
