Epimetheus, in this thread, you are behaving like a jackass. You are totally and completely incorrect in you assertation that there is only one rectus abdominus muscle. There are quite clearly two, which are joined in the middle by a tendon, the linea alba.
Every cite in the thread, including ALL OF YOURS says the same thing. Two muscles. TWO.
Seperated. Fellow. Opposite Side. Gosh - do you think that means there are TWO freekin muscles?!?!?
You admit that you’ve never taken an anatomy course, and yet you have the nerve to suggest that:
after saying this

Interestingly, from my third post in the thread:
So - what the fuck are you talking about you bone head? Can you not stand to be proven wrong?
You’re wrong. Period. This is not a matter for debate and discussion. Every person who’s taken even a smidgen of anatomy knows that there are two rectus abdominal muscles, joined in the middle by a tendon.
Any woman who’s had a baby knows that these muscle seperate and that moving them back together is a pain in the ass.
Having been a diabetic now for 22 years and suffering from a wide array of complications, I found this post to be very highly offensive to me. Just what do you mean, I’ll be “smug” in a dozen years or so with “worms crawling in (my) body”?
I’m certainly not smug every time I go to the toilet and pee blood, or pass out from low blood sugar, or feel sick and vomit from high blood sugar, or see that blind spot in my right eye, or watch as a simple paper cut takes 3 weeks to heal, or breathe and feel the broken rib that won’t heal right, or see the cardiologist come back with “that look” on his face.
But hey, I made this choice, so…it’s my own smug fault? Wait, what choice did I have again?
I admit the only reason I didn’t start a Pit thread about Epimetheus yesterday was because his post didn’t make complete sense to me, so I was certain he must have grossly mis-spoke. However, maybe I can piggyback off this one - appropriately too, as it’s another medical-related issue - and ask Epimetheus why he would say such a thing about people like me?
I KNEW I’d seen him being a jerkass before - I just couldn’t remember where!
BAH I hate ignorance! I hate willful ignorance! And I expecially despise those that are willfully ignorant and yet at arrogant and condescending to others about stuff that they clearly know JACK SHIT ABOUT!
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Fer Christ sake you can make a replacement boob for women, following mastectomy, by rotating one of the rectus abdominus muscles - unless you’ve seen a shwack of women with massive mono apron-like boobs, I’m pretty sure there’s a division there! :rolleyes:
