Doper freak show

I’ve always wondered what kind of frequency abnormalities occur with in a population.

I’ve got three testicles.

What other carnival-fodder do we have?

Well, that explains your user name, at any rate.

I have a toenail that seems to grow sideways.

(getting in the cheap shot)

Man, it must have taken a lot of balls to say that.

Oh, and I can squeak my ears.

My daughter was born with an extra finger. It was like an extra little pinky. It had knuckles and a fingernail, but was only connected to her hand by a little flap of skin. It was removed when she was a couple of weeks old. There is hardly even a scar now to show where it was.

TMI - For some reason, I elected to keep the finger, so the doc put it in a jar for me. I hadn’t even considered keeping it until he asked if I wanted it. Most people think it’s gruesome, so I don’t show it off or anything like that. I’ve shown it to her a few times (she’s 3 1/2 now), and she doesn’t really think much of it. She knows that it’s hers, and will look at it and then her scar.

I’ve got webbed toes. Not completely webbed, just the second and third toes are grown together for about 2/3 of the way on my right foot and just a bit at the base on my left foot. It runs in the family - my mother and my grandfather have the same thing.

Um… I was going to say my ears are kinda big, but Lady Kate’s finger-in-a-jar has silenced my tale in all its pitiful mundaneness.

I had to have EIGHT impacted wisdom teeth out.

I can bend my thumb backwards and touch my wrist :smack:

My reach (with both arms outstretched) is almost a foot more than my height. If Leonardo Da Vinci had used me as a model for his famous proportion study (the man embedded in a square and circle), he’d have had to use an oval and a rectangle.

… and he’d have had to adjust at least one other proportion in that drawing as well… :smiley:

Well some might say my being 6’5" and weighing 300 lbs is an abnormality of the magnitude for the list, I’m not so inclined.

The curving of the fingers horizontally isn’t too terribly uncommon, but mine curve to a greater degree than most from my observations. Also having to do with my hands my thumbs are double jointed, so I can “dislocate” them completely by choice.

Ah, a polyorchid. If I’m not mistaken, most polyorchids are sterile. I’m sorry if that’s the case with you. Actually, maybe I shouldn’t have brought that up…

That said, there’s really nothing too weird about me. (At least, physically.)

I do have a very large head, which means few people can wear my baseball caps without adjusting them. And I can’t wear the more common styles of hockey helmets. This could be related to both my intelligence and my migraines.

I’m also rather self-conscious of my saggy nipples. I feel much better knowing that pro wrestler-turned-movie star Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson also had this problem. He had cosmestic surgery to fix his. I can’t afford that… yet.

And one of my hips locks if I happen to move in a certain way. For example, if I use the leg on that side to step over my hockey bag. My hip locks, and the only way to unlock it, is to do a full reverse, pulling my leg back over the bag.

I am curious to know if any Dopers out there had/have vestigial tails. Or if they know of anyone else who had/has one.

Anyhoo…

I can move the outer bottom part of my palms without moving my fingers.

I can make one eye look straight while the other one looks off to the side.

Me too. I can also bend the first joint only of all fingers but one (it’s in training).

Oh and I have 3 kidneys.

I have this one weird hair in my stubble if I let it grow out, but only sometimes. It’s like the mutant monster hair from hell. It’s got the diameter of at least ten individual beard hairs, is jet black, and can be removed easily by tugging with my fingers, unlike most of my beard hairs, which require considerable force and tweezers to pull out.

If it grows back, I’ll show you. It’s pretty damn freaky. I must be deformed.

I’m missing part of one rib, but it doesn’t show of course.

Pretty boring really.

I’m fat.

I have absolutely no sense of smell whatsoever, never have done

Oh, and I can do the splits (nearly), which is pretty freaky for a 39 year old with no dance/gymnastic training whatsoever [and pretty spectacluar cos I’m 6’2"]

So it’s true, nature does compensate for the lack of one of the five senses …

I’ve got noisy eyeballs. When I rub my eyes you can clearly hear watery, squishy sounds. Must be over-active lacrimal glands. My mom could do it too.
[aside to MrFantsyPants: Is your last name DeMedici, or some variation?]

I was born without adult teeth.

You know, I’ve said that line so many times in my life, but it wasn’t until I just read it that I noticed it doesn’t make much sense. No one is born with adult teeth. Let’s try this again:

I didn’t have any adult teeth come in to push out my baby teeth.

Yeah, that’s better. Although I shouldn’t say I didn’t have any – I had about three adult teeth come in. Basically, I got really screwed over by the tooth fairy.
