Nipples..theres another one,why do men have nipples?

So women can nibble on them during "play time"

A lot of nonsense. There are no parts on a human that useless. The closest is the wisdom teeth that are an added good thing if our diet goes plants only for an extended time. For years the appendix was considered of no use until they found out that it is a repository for "good bacteria" for the gut so that after an illness that kills the bacteria the body has a source of good bacteria to repopulate the gut. It has been proven again and again that people with a healthy appendix recover faster after surgery. No, there are no useless parts just those that the reason is not known yet.

No water? I know, OT. Delete.

So, these people would design a skull without any voids like sinuses? must be quite heavy but now i know where the term 'bonehead' comes from.

it's also worth noting that a facial fracture doesn't necessarily involve the brainpan, which would undoubtedly be the case without voids.

Ever try and breath when your sinus are clogged? I think sinuses are important. Funny thing is I started getting chronic sinus infections after my adenoids were removed. My sinning voice also went down hill after that.

This is my very first day on ATS and also my very first post Hello!! I'd like to nominate facial hair as most pointless body part. If men have to grow it, why don't women? I know it's hormone related, but what's the purpose? Did our ancient male ancestors stick a few tasty morsels in their bushy beards (sort of like an easily portable picnic basket) when they went on hunting trips? Or are women's faces just meant to be colder for some freaky reason?

Pinkie finger, other than being the perfect size for picking your nose, it`s completely useless and redundant.
everything we do can be done just as well with just a thumb and the other 3 fingers, sorry pinkie finger you`re obsolete you gotta go.

Get rid of your facial hair if you want to, but I'm keeping mine, thank you very much! If you've never grown a beard, you just can't understand.

I think they were just plain wrong about some of those parts. But they forgot the pinky toe. I've got one that is so tiny, and has a toenail on it so tiny you can barely see it! I think that part is on it's way out.

Those websites are very interesting, today i can say that i actually learned something.
