Could he wag it?

Cecil Claims Some Kid Had a 9" Tail

Could he curl it? Wag it?

I mean, with muscles and blood vessels and nerve endings and …well, could he?

I have no idea, but I would be interested in seeing a picture of this kid, or anyone that has such a thing.

If a kid has this tale you might think people would think of him as a freak. And that wouldn’t make hom popular(unless you mean popular with scientists).

Here are some links to pictures of human tails. These are all on infants, no adults.

Welllll… I dunno. Maybe there are women out there who would appreciate a 9-inch tail. I mean maybe he could manipulate it with some dexterity, or… :wink:

Finally, literal meaning for the expression “piece of tail.”
