The appendix has a purpose, after all... It produces and protects good germs for your intestines. YAY! Now that's sorted out, let's all vote on what the new most pointless part of the body is.

  • For the past two weeks anyhow, that'd be my penis. Hang in there, buddy.
  • Two weeks? Ha! How about... ...never mind.. *sigh*
  • You need to speak to your union rep about bathroom breaks, LS. That's positively inhuman!
  • Little toes. Who needs them? And they snag on the table legs when you are drunk. Right?
  • Heroes spoiler, EarWax!! (Not really, nobody panic, it's okay.) I also vote little toe.
  • A tie between ear lobes and man boobs.
  • That would be bitch tits. As a dog, I would expect you to know that. Betcha have six of 'em, doncha?
  • The wise rock woman needs to look up the word "bitch"
  • His name is Robert Paulson.
  • I vote earlobes. Yeah, you can hang stuff from them, but really, are they actually necessary? Would the world be worse off without earlobes?
  • I think little toes are physically necessary for balance, and if you didn't have ear lobes, noone could nibble your ear lobe. I vote wisdom teeth.
  • Back hair.
  • You'll pry my wisdom teeth from my cold, dead...uh, jaw. I say excess body fat.
  • Xyphoid process. And not just because I ain't got one.
  • earlobes are essential jewelry facilitators!! so...how 'bout...PUBIC HAIR!!! also...OMGWTFBBQ NUNIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! she's back :)
  • looks up xyphoid process. maintains vote for wisdom teeth.
  • Fun fact: the Japanese word for wisdom teeth translates as "parents-don't-know teeth". Also they are pretty pointless.
  • *waves at Medusa*
  • I'd also go with wisdom teeth, although in terms of functionality vs. problems, the sinuses would rate right up there on the pointlessness scale. Kinda fond of my little toes; without them, who would go wee, wee, wee, all the way home?
  • adenoids? tonsils?
  • Toenails.
  • Especially those pesky little toenails. I hate cutting all of them, but I've always said it wouldn't bother me a bit to have the pinkies surgically removed. Little nasty deformed buggers.
