That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.
That could be it. All I know is that it was used for something for primative man and after a while we adapted to the point of not needing it anymore.

BLEU Are you sure it's long enough?

Tadao Maybe you should massage your tonsils to keep them from getting inflamed. My cock should do the trick.

AChimp I poked a huge amount of tonsil stones out of my right tonsil a few months back because I was gagging and shit. My tonsil shrunk down to like 1/4 of the size and now I do it every couple of weeks to prevent it from happening again.

Wikipedia here says that Darwin theorized that the appendix was used to help primative man digest leaves. It also is theorized that the appendix is somehow useful to fetuses and adults (not sure how).

What was it's original purpose? Does anyone even know?

ZeldaQueen Ohh, too bad about that.

I guess I'm kind of lucky that I've never had mine removed. In fact, I've still got all of my organs with me.

My cousin had his appendix taken out though, poor guy.

BLEU I wish I could get my tonsils removed. All they do is get filled with this white pasty shit I have to squeeze out every once in a while.

It smells awful. Kinda fun though.

Dixie Chicks dig it when you save removed body parts.
It shows you're sentimental.
