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.”
Oh wow. Does that mean you have an extra vertebra ? have you ever checked ?
Yup! Bonus, all the extra gear at the top shoved everything down and caused problems at the bottom:

When that became a problem, it was the worst pain I ever experienced. Was fine one day, woke up convinced my spine was broken and that I could feel the broken ends grinding against each other.
Neat. And thanks to Marilyn Manson, we’re still on target to maintain an average of 12 pairs of ribs pp
Do you know that Marilyn Manson got his bottom ribs removed so he could suck other guys’ dicks
That’s an urban legend. He actually got them removed so God could make him two wives and he could suck their dicks.
It doesn’t sound like it makes sense, but if you know, you know!

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.
