What's your physical anomaly?

[dolo amber]

One ear bigger than the other, disproportionately big feet, different colored eyes...?

I have a gap between my 2 front teeth. And, although I'm not sure how odd this is, the first 3 toes on both my feet are identical in length.

:)

[realisticphish]

1. i dont have any skin

its a bitch, but i get by

3. The right side of my brain works pretty well

The left side makes me struggle

[miss_kitty]

4. I won't say

:evilfrown:

[Sannum]

5. My ankles are very, very thin...

I can almost put my hand all the way around. Everything else is normal.

I am a freak:cry:

[MrSandman]

8. Not freakish, but...

Shapely.

[Briarius]

6. I broke a couple ribs, and now my ribcage has a dent in it

it also sticks out slightly next to the dent. I'm also freakishly good looking :eyes:

[MrSandman]

7. My left index finger is misshapened...

By a car door at age 5.

And my teeth are a little crooked...not everyone got braces when I was young.

[LynzM]

10. My pancreas is broken...

In the way that results in being Type 1 diabetic :(

Other than that, I'm pretty normal.

[sundog]

11. where to begin...

fucked up looking ears... tons of stubble under my chin, but hardly any on the sides of my face, blonde/invisible eyebrows, though every other hair on my body is brown :wtf: ...

in other words, I won't be the next Hugo Boss model :7

[7th_Sephiroth]

13. think i found your picture

[sundog]

27. wow - it was so bad it broke the link

:scared:

:cry:

:P

[7th_Sephiroth]

41. it was a pic of

Joe Dirt

[Shredr]

103. Now I've got to see a picture

Blonde eyebrows are really cool.

[NightTrain]

12. But seriously...

Like Dolo, I have a gap between my two upper teeth. Also, my spine curves inward, making my butt stick way out. Even when I was skinny, my ass always protruded quite far from the rest of me.

[barackmyworld]

15. I always thought it was my glasses, but my ears are crooked!

My glasses do not fall straight on my face because one of my ears is higher than the other. It makes me look like a mad scientist sometimes.

[sendero]

29. I have that too..

.... every time I get a new pair of shades I have to bend them :)

[Ladyhawk]

63. I used to have that problem until I had corrective eye surgery. :)

Also, my hands and feet are small for my body size, my pancreas is semi-broken (Type 2 diabetes) and my spine is, apparently, disintegrating.

Oh well. :)

I'm better off than some!!!

[kick-ass-bob]

77. Your eye surgery straightened your ears?!

Will wonders never cease!!

:P

:bounce: :bounce:

[livinginphotographs]

40. You look okay to me.

Just sayin'...

[ChemEng]

16. My stomach? The volume to circumference ratio is quite amazing...n/t

[Wat_Tyler]

17. Two hearts, I imagine. That always seems to interest people.

[dolo amber]

19. Two?! Bloody hell...everyone knows you don't even have one!!

Farqueing chunt. :P

[Wat_Tyler]

21. Oh, they're not in my body.

I keep them in a small camping fridge.

[bloodyjack]

32. That's nothing!

I have four stomachs.

[redqueen]

76. believing in just one mind?

[JimmyJazz]

18. Ack - I have freakishly small feet.

I still shop in the kids department for shoes - I wear a kids size 3. It's not easy finding shoes without Dora the Explorer on them. :silly:

[Dookus]

20. I have a dent in my head

yes, yes I do. Above and behind my right ear is a circular indentation that you could rest a softball in. It's not noticeable unless I cut my hair really short.

It was the result of my twins sister's foot or something resting against my noggin' while it was forming - or maybe just one sharp kick at the right time.

Anyway, it sure explains a lot, doesn't it?

[Wat_Tyler]

23. I've got a dent too.

Some kid chucked a rock at me. I've also got a dent in my knee from rafting on the Ottawa River.

[Bouncy Ball]

51. You have a twin sister? Cool.

The back of my head is totally flat. My husband likes to feel it, laugh and say "Your momma didn't turn you enough."

Har har har.

[ckramer]

22. I get three testicles!

Kidding!

[nytemare]

24. "Diastema"

I have the space between teeth too, but my main abnormality is that my cerebellum hangs out the bottom of my brain, it is called "Chiari Malformation". I didn't know I had it until I had MRI's done of my head because of migraines. Weird stuff.

[Catshrink]

25. Does my fat ass count?

[livinginphotographs]

26. I have a third nipple.

Seriously. I'll post a pic if you don't believe me.

[faithfulcitizen]

28. i don't believe you

:P

[livinginphotographs]

30. You asked for it....

Getting the digital camera now.

[livinginphotographs]

37. For the benefit of the haters....

I give you....my third nipple.



(I'm a guy, so this shouldn't get the thread locked)

[Lavender Brown]

69. Wow

Mark Walhberg has a third one as well.

[sendero]

31. Does it feel..

... good when someone licks your third nipple? :evilgrin:

[livinginphotographs]

36. Nah.

But when they lick my fourth, man is that sweet.

[eek MD]

94. I have one of those too.....

For years, i thought it was only a mole because it's so much smaller, until one of my HS science teachers brought up about a relative of his who had one.....
I looked at it closely, and realized what it actually was..... =)....

[livinginphotographs]

102. I thought it was a mole too.

But my parents told me it was a nipple.

It's been my pride and joy ever since.

Weirdest question: "Ewwww!!! Did you name it?"

What the hell that was about, I don't know.

[eek MD]

104. i actually seem to forget it's there....

when i was thinking of a bosy part of me to post, it didn't even come to mind, until i was reading down the list, and saw your post... =)

34. Duck feet

Not web-toed but wide and short - women's size 5.5 E if I can find them. Usually I have to go to 6.5 B and squeeze them in. Even my hubby says my feet look funny. :shrug: At least they're not ugly.

[graywarrior]

35. I bookmarked this thread for when I go on a suicide binge

It's a fucking laff riot

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

38. I have a prehensile uvula

[Bouncy Ball]

[dolo amber]

49. You're such a dork

:7

[baldguy]

39. I don't think of it as an anomaly.

After all, God only made a few perfect heads....

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

42. I'm 6' 4" tall, and I have size 13EE feet.

What else do I need? ---> Here's a hint-- you know what it is they say about men who have big feet--






























They wear big shoes!!!

:evilgrin:

[BigMcLargehuge]

45. middle and ring fingers on both hands are the same length

[yvr girl]

46. I have a scar on my forehead

I'm double jointed in all my fingers and can bend them in creepy ways.

I wrecked both of my ankles when I was a kid, so my ligaments are really loose. I can point both of my feet inward and make them perpendicular to my legs. I can also stand on the sides of my feet.

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

64. I have a chicken pox scar right in the middle of my

forehead from when I had chicken pox at 2 years old. It looks like a hindu third eye.

[Bouncy Ball]

47. Um, I'm extremely double-jointed.

In a college PE class, we had to lie on the floor on our stomachs, put out our arms, shoulder width apart, and hold onto a broom handle. It was a flexibility test. Then someone stood in front of us with a yard stick to see how high we could lift the broom handle.

My arms went all the way around and the broom handle ended up resting on my ass. I already knew I could do that and I thought everyone could, so when the girl measuring me gasped and asked the instructor "how do I measure this?" I figured out it must not be normal. The instructor looked at me and said "You don't. Her shoulders are double-jointed."

Also I can put my hand flat on a table and turn my arm until the complete inside of the arm is facing out. I can bend my thumbs straight back.

I can pop my hips.

Like someone else above, I have freakishly thin ankles, but I also have freakishly thin wrists. No matter WHAT I weigh. And chicken-skinny arms.

My hair is so thick it takes 45 min to blowdry with a blow drier on hot and high. Even with keeping it short. It's ridiculous.

I have long dark thick eyelashes. No I'm not griping. If I use mascara I look like a freaking clown. People think I already have it on anyway.

I have no appendix, no wisdom teeth, no tonsils, no adenoids, and hopefully soon, no uterus!

Both of my pinkies are "bent" or "crooked."

I have freakishly long skinny fingers. Seriously, they are just this side of weird looking.

On edit, geez, how could I forget this one? The one thing I've had more comments on than anything else. For some reason, and I don't know why, I have these really big defined calf muscles. I mean even the muscle that runs along the front of your shin? I can flex that, too. My calf muscles are just huge. I NEVER worked out to get them that way. A guy I used to work with was a bodybuilder and he used to BEG me to tell him how I got them that way. They aren't ugly or anything, just really well-defined. When I flex it, I've had people go "Oh my GOD!" I told him there seriously is no secret. I've never worked on my calves and rarely ever workout. :shrug: Why can't I have those muscles in my arms, though??

[Pithlet]

53. I have the uber-thick hair, too.

People complement it, but they have no idea what a pain it is. I can never let it air dry, because it would still be wet when I went to bed that night. I have to use a hairdryer if I'm going to go anywhere, and I hate that. I use a very good conditioner, or my hair would look like straw. It looks fabulous if a professional styles it, but that's not a daily occurance. I'm envious of people who can wash and go.

[patdem]

95. That is very strange. You may be the model for the new robo soldier

..of the female persuasion?

[Scooter24]

48. I'm having plastic surgery done in April

I need my nose done. I broke it years ago and am just now getting time to fix it.

I also need to see a dermatologist about my face. It's not anywhere near bad, but a few zaps of the laser would help clear up these blemishes.

Also I need to have my jaw aligned because of a small overbite. Maybe a few laser bleaching treatments as well.

Hmm...How about Calf implants?!?! No more chicken legs!

And a few Mystic Tan's to get some color. :)

[maveric]

50. I only have 3 1/2 fingers on my left hand(amputation). I stutter and

it shows physically at times.

[Pithlet]

52. I have a spot on the back of my head

the size of a silver dollar and all the hair in that spot was jet black. It was really noticeable when I was a kid and had blond hair, but my hair has always been light, so it was always noticeable. It turned completely white before I was 20. My mom said she could see a purple birthmark there when I was a baby, before my hair got thicker. I used to wish that it had been on my forehead instead of the back, because I think it's cool when someone has a strip of hair in front that's a different color than the rest of their hair. Not too big though, or it's too Cruella Deville.

[Skittles]

54. I used to have a huge gap between my two front teeth

until they met a steering wheel :(

[sympa]

57. just a couple of little things...

if i lay on my stomach, i can rock my legs over my head and (it's kinda weird but...) and touch my um...touch my buttocks to my head...
my arms bend slightly backward when i straighten them.
i can stand on my tip tip tip toes (actually the tip of my toes, not the ball of my foot)
my thumbs make a 90 degree angle when i bend them back
if i do a stradle split, my hips let loose and it goes past being a horizontal line. i have a crazy arch in my foot when i point my toe, as in...my toe goes past my heel when i point...
and if i crouch down, i can keep my feet totally flat (with my knees up against my chest, i'm a little ball!)

i guess i'm a little double jointed...dunno... are any of these things anomalies?

my grandfather (at 84 and no regular exercise) could still bring his foot up near his face to tie his shoe...perhaps it's genetic?

[aePrime]

58. I'm really, really, ridiculously good looking

[Sabriel]

60. My toes are pretty much fused

They don't operate independently of each other at all, except maybe for a little movement of the big toe. My partner has prehensile toes and finds mine somewhat...bizarre....

[Magrittes Pipe]

65. A body like mine oughtta be in jail...

...because it's on the verge of being obscene.

[KG]

66. i've got a BMW

Body Made Wrong.

[MsAnthropy]

67. A piece of my brain is missing!

Partial agenesis of the corpus callosum makes it sound much cooler!

[SarahB]

72. Can you forgive me for asking, but how are your thinking patterns now?

I don't mean this in an insulting way, but from a neurological perspective. Cutting of the corpus callosum has been used as a procedure for severe epilepsy (which my brother has, but basically his cognitive functioning has long been irreparably low sadly, plus I'm a nursing student), but I've always sort of found neurology and brain function fascinating from both a developmental and physiological perspective. Anyway, knowing the corpus callosum integrates the thoughts and emotions from both neural hemispheres, it makes me curious as to what you have found to be the difference in your experiences and if you had an injury or illness. (And if you want to tell me to mind my own business, just let me know.)

[MsAnthropy]

78. Sure, I LOVE talking about my brain!

They discovered it on an MRI I had for headaches and I was absolutely THRILLED--now I had an excuse for every bad thing I ever did!

Actually, I've really had no effects whatsoever, I guess since it was in utero my brain just rewired itself around it and I've always had (what I consider) above-average intelligence. Logically, my left brain shouldn't be able to talk to my right brain, but I've never had a problem. When it was found I went searching through the abstracts on Medpub (which was a HUGE mistake) and scared the crap out of myself--it was tied to schizophrenia, epilepsy and retardation, none of which I have. They really know so little about how and why the brain develops. It's fascinating.

[SarahB]

80. Cool!

It's amazing how when something is from before birth or a young age, the brain just finds alternate pathways because all those connections are being still formed, yet if someone is say, injured beyond childhood, it becomes more difficult for similar alternate pathways to form. I'm glad all is well for you. Thanks for indulging my curiosity a bit. :)

[ContraBass Black]

86. Do you speak to yourself aloud?

[MsAnthropy]

89. Always!

But that's just me arguing with the voices in my head. :-)

[ContraBass Black]

92. I remember seeing an a TV program on neuroscience several years ago.

In it, a man had had surgery that had severed his connection between the lobes, and sometimes needed to pass information from one side of his brain to the other by speaking and hearing it.

[MsAnthropy]

113. LOL, maybe THAT'S what I've been doing!

I just love neuroscience case studies like Oliver Sacks did in "The Man Who Mistook His Wife for A Hat". I think it's so fascinating how the brain compensates.

[Hell Hath No Fury]

68. The most fun anomaly I have...

is on my right wrist -- the blood vessel that you take a pulse on is "wired" a bit differently and goes over the top of my wrist instead of along the inside into the hand.

For years I've had lots of fun watching nurses/doctors grab my wrist for a pulse and then get that look of confusion and surprise when it appears I don't have one! :D

Also, I have incredibly squishy hands. Where the fingers attach to the hand is so flexible I can get my hand into the tiniest of spaces.

[TahitiNut]

70. Congenital scoliosis of the lower lumbar.

Sadly enough, it wasn't properly diagnosed until I was nearly 50 despite life-long walking/running difficulties - especially in the military (USCGA and basic training). Skiing and ice-skating were next to impossible, but I did my best. It causes my entire leg (both) to operate in a "V"-orientation, each angled outward from hip to foot. The strain of forcing strict fore-and-aft operation ultimately results in pain. With age came chronic sciatica.

Blessing: I have always had an awesome breaststroke kick - like a frog's.

[Beware the Beast Man]

71. I am built like a potato on stilts.

And I have hitchhiker thumbs.
I'm hairy.
Though, for a guy, I've been told I have very nice feet. Go figure. :shrug:

[Bouncy Ball]

75. Mmmm, like a potato on stilts?

You know how to turn a woman on!

(I have hitchhiker thumbs, too.)

[GumboYaYa]

73. I have no toenails on my pinky toes.

Yeah, that's really silly compared to so many others, but it is the best I can do.

[redqueen]

74. Should I make a list?

Some of my fingernails grow at weird angles. I tried the fake nail thing for a while... they had to be thick as hell in order to look right.

Also, my big toes are very oddly shaped.

And I'm pigeon-toed.

[kick-ass-bob]

79. My last knuckle on my pinkies are 2x jointed and

my thumbs are as well (where it meets the hand.
I can turn my thumbs so they make an "L" (the wrong way)
and my pinkies make this shape:

^-
going from my hand outward.

[Dervill Crow]

111. Wonder if we're related?

My proximal thumbs are double jointed and I have curly pinkies.

[Merrick]

81. My birthmark is on my penis

Dead center, top of the shaft. About the size of a hole a nail would make if it were driven through it. I thought of this while reading a portion of a book dealing with Holographic theories of the universe that postulated that birthmarks and other marks and such on your body might be artifacts of wounds suffered in previous existences. Made me wonder if maybe I was a victim of Nazi or American sponsored torturers in a past life. Well, at least I wasnt Stalin.

[luvLLB]

82. i have a split uvula...

[GoddessOfGuinness]

105. I'm glad it wasn't a forked tongue!

Welcome to DU! :hi:

[bugslsu9]

83. I can scratch my knee without bending my waist

It's actually quite nice having monkey arms though, I can reach every shelf, and I'm under 6'

[Freebird12004]

84. my second toe is longer than all the rest

does that count ?

[Dervill Crow]

110. Long second toes mean you're royalty.

Or so my grandma told me.

I've got long second toes.
Double jointed thumbs.
Crooked pinkies.
A crack down the middle of my tongue.
Thick ankles.
Flat feet.
A pug nose that was quite cute when I was young and thin but now makes me look like Miss Piggy.

[Freebird12004]

112. "I'm Royalty"

Well that explains my taste for the finer things in life.:toast:

[madison2000]

85. I sometimes tie my earlobes in a bow

otherwise they wobble to and fro :silly: :silly: :silly: :silly: :silly:

[terrya]

87. I have a big nose.

I have a big honker. No doubt about it.

[Magrittes Pipe]

88. You know what they say about men with big noses.

They can smell really well.

[Donkeyboy75]

100. I also heard they have

enormous cocks.

[SarahB]

90. Some scars...

Slightly thick ankles.
Less than perfect post-pregnancy abs.
Myopic (near sighted).
Very sensitive skin.
Prone to cavities no matter what I do.
Having to fight to keep my weight within a healthy range.

I'm a total freak. People just don't realize it right away. :freak:

[yellowcanine]

91. I have 5 wisdom teeth.

The fifth one is buried in the back of my jaw and only can be seen on an xray. It does not bother me so I see no reason to have it removed - particularly when the dentist gave me a referral to an oral surgeon and showed me on the xray how close it was to a nerve and suggested that I point that out to the oral surgeon so he would "be careful." I said, "no thanks, I think that tooth is going to stay right where it is." That's all I need, to have a surgeon damage a nerve in my face so the bottom half of my face sags even more than it does already.

[meow2u3]

107. Lucky you! I have only 1 wisdom tooth!

:eyes:

</sarcasm off>

[Borgnine]

93. I've got a small protrustion above my ribcage.

It's a small bone or something. I've never seen it in anybody else but my father's side of the family. Are we alien-human hybrids?

[Nikia]

96. My ear lobes are different from each other

I have one attatched ear lobe and one unattatched ear lobe. My grandmother has this same anamoly. My grandfather used to come to bed in the dark because he worked late as a police officer and he would always feel my grandmother's ear lobes to make sure that there wasn't an imposter in bed instead.
I thought that I had freakish proportion, but it turns out that they are actually good. My ribs do stick out more than most people's ribs do.

[Guy Fawkes]

97. the little toe on my right foot...

has a toenail that is split in half.

[yellowdogintexas]

98. I have molars with double crowns

there is the main regular crown that meets up with the lower tooth, and then on the back of the tooth are these little extra protusions that have a second, tiny crown between them.

I have one on each side, upper teeth in the back, and the wierd part is that I also had them in my baby molars but when they came out, the molars which replaced them did not have them. But the second set of permanent molars ( the ones they call "12 year molars") did have them.

[Donkeyboy75]

99. I gots me a third nipple.

But it's only a quarter of the size of the other two.

[HEyHEY]

101. Elbows that bend in

[GoddessOfGuinness]

106. I had 3 kidneys

but one didn't function properly, so they removed it.

I imagine there are a number of people with "spare parts" that don't find out about it unless something goes wrong.

[meow2u3]

108. Disproportionately big feet

and -- yikes! -- ovarian cysts. I was just diagnosed with them. :hurts:

[Frogtutor]

109. multi-colored eyes, dimpled shoulders, couple of scars...

My eyes are mostly blue, but I have spots of brown on both, with an especially large spot on my right eye. Mom has blue, Dad as brown, brother got all brown...

I have a dent + scar in the center of my forehead, and another scar through the middle of my right eyebrow.

I never noticed the shoulders until after my son was born. I was wondering where in the world he got dimpled shoulders from, and finally looked at mine in a mirror!

[fudge stripe cookays]

114. Grasshopper patella.

Basically, a genetic condition my kneecaps like doing their own thing. I bend my leg, and my kneecaps flick out to either side instead of bending in a straight line with the rest of my leg. No surgery will fix it, it's just the natural movement of my leg.

I have to be very careful about running, or jarring them by playing tennis or skiing or that type of thing. I just stick to walking. It's easier.

My orthopedist told me years ago that there is no such thing as "double jointed." But he did tell me I was very LOOSE jointed.

There's this thing I've been doing since I was little that freaks people out. I straighten my index finger so much that it stiffens, then I can pop it back and forth, side to side. People watch amazed, but none have ever been able to duplicate it.

Ortho doctor also told me I'm going to have a helluva time with bad joints when I get old because of my freakishly strange flexibility and movement strangeness. At 38, I already am!

Woo hoo.
FSC

[Az]

115. I'm a long haired hippie atheist that some people think looks like Jesus

Its worth the confused looks when I debate in person. :evilgrin:

[Dastard Stepchild]

116. I have a miniscule right shoulder blade...

Not really visible unless I put my hands behind my back in that reverse-prayer-behind-the-back-yoga-pose-type thing.
A doctor noticed it at a physical. Here is how it all went down:
Doc: Ya ever have neck or shoulder pain on yer right side?
Me: Why, yes, actually.
Doc: You have a screwed up right shoulder blade.
Me: Oh my! What do I do about that.
Doc: Eh, nothing. Keep an eye on it. Have a nice day.
<doc trots out... I remain in office with quizzical look on face>

What am I keeping an eye out for?!! :)

[Samurai_Writer]

117. Wow, where do I start?

I'll try to get it all, but I might forget something. Going from the top:

I had 4 baby teeth without any adult teeth behind them. When they decided to finally fall out at age 24, I got 4 bridges.

I have small earlobes, and the bridge of my nose is very small, which makes it hard to wear glasses. My nose is small for my size as well, although getting a little bigger as I age.

Super thick hair, one side is noticeably more wavy than the other side.

One breast is a full size larger than the other. Try finding a bra that fits. UGH!

I have small wrists, ankles, and waist compared to the rest of me.

I have a misshapen thumb, due to an accident when I was 3. My cousin dropped a brick on it, squished it and almost severed it.

I have had a raised mole on my upper lip since birth.

I was born without any fingernails or toenails. They grew in, but are very weak and thin and do not grow very long at all before breaking off.

Hmmm... I think that is all... if I remember any more, I'll add them.

Peace,
Bella
