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.

        A more accurate translation is the “side” of Adam, with the idea he was made from mud or clay and that part was pinched off as you’d do pottery to make Eve.

    Hey, my thumb’s like that but it’s cause I chopped a bit off with a machete.

      WELL I guess that means I’m not that unique after all.

      edit: Wait, “sinus cavity” does not mean “nostril.” Nevermind, slightly different.

    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

    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.

    I can snap with my right hand all day, but for some reason, my left hand just never gets the appropriate sound to come out.

    I have a dent in my shin bone from a really big hit that didn’t quite manage to break it. It’s visible if you look close. I also feel rapid temperature/pressure changes there.

    My pinky fingers are curved sideways towards my rong fingers. They’re like little banana fingers. They also don’t bend easily. Despite that I’m still a pretty decent clarinet player, but I always play the mid c# on the left instead of the right so I don’t have yo bend my pinky.

    Life has given me many scars, and there’s a story behind every single one. Often mountain bikes were involved

    Like that one time we were drinking at friend’s place, and I fell and hit my hand on his bike’s brake disc 😅

    Due to a knee surgery many years ago, I have one leg slightly longer than the other & have slightly off kilter walk. A completely unlikely scenario in which I’m stranded in the desert and must walk for help. I fear I may trek for what seems an eternity only to find myself coming full circle. Again most likely will not occur. But if so, I am prepared to account for leg length deficit.

      This can result in issues with your vertebrae. At least it did for me. If you experience lumbar pain or weird lower body tingling, act sooner, not later.

      I heard everyone does this as one leg is the main leg and thus stronger. Lefties turn to the right, righties to the left or so. So your knee would either even you out or shrink the circle.

        I am relieved to know that I am not alone. That said, I need to complain about that old surgery from many years ago. I gotta say, despite all the hazards, the team of surgeons in ‘87 did some absolute bang up job & perhaps several miracles upon moi, yours truly. For this, I am forever grateful and always consider myself quite blessed to be walking slowly but with everyone.
