I have personally observed and recorded the birth, (not very) natural life span, and death of exactly 46,779 worms. I even cremated most of them individually.
I’m not sure of the number, but I like to think that I’m one of the few people that learned how to ride a motorcycle (MSF class) in a place where if I messed up I ran the very real risk of running into an airplane.
In fact, after the first class the instructor said “I’ll see if I can get them to move some of these planes out of here before next week”.
I’ve had my tonsils out three times! Ice cream!
Very few people are eligible for both B’nai B’rith and the DAR, but I am. There is also a rumor of an intermarriage that, if properly researched, and the research bears out, would also make me eligible for the Society of Mayflower Descendants. So far, no one in the family has felt like doing the footwork, though.
There are also very few Jews who are related to people who fought on both sides of the US civil war, but I am. I have, however, confirmed that I am (whew!) NOT related to Judah Benjamin.
I am the only person in the history of my church council to be drafted specifically to serve as secretary.
In my undergraduate class, an especially inspired professor was exhorting a half-empty classroom on a Friday afternoon: You walked into this campus, happy and proud. Then 1461 times, the sun will rise and set, before you wake up and ask yourself, “What have I done in college?”
I was surprised and impressed by the random figure that he apparently pulled out of his butt. That is, until I realised that he meant
four years, of course. :smack:
I have never been in the Navy, and am not a sailor. But once was on a vessel at sea, out of sight of land for 103 consecutive days. It was part of my job.
I was an anchor operator on a pipelay barge in the North Sea. This one. (not the ship in front, the huge vessel behind it).
I was born with crooked ear canals, a uterus so tipped that OB-GYN’s invariably were greatly startled the first time they gave me an exam, and at least one tooth nerve so coiled that the specialist who performed the root canal, a professor at Tufts University, told me he was going to use photos of the procedure in his class lectures.
ETA: Okay, I guess that’s not really a statistic. Hmm. I have three unusually twisted body parts. There, that’s better.
My ENT described my deviated septum as “really fucked up”. But I think he was just trying to talk me into surgery (unsuccessfully).
And it took my GI doctor THREE EGDs (endoscopes) to get my esophagus dilated back to normal, plus he wanted to do one more but I was getting bored with them. After the first one, I woke up and asked if I was going to stop choking on food and they said something like ‘actually, it was so narrow we couldn’t even get the scope down, you’re going to have to come back in a few weeks when we can borrow one from Children’s Hospital’. When I came back for the second one, one of the nurses commented on how tiny the new scope was.
More people have stuck knives into my right leg than have found me attractive enough to have sex with.
I had five “wisdom teeth”.
All removed, of course. 
The lifetime radiation dosage of my right index finger so far is 270 mrem.
I have been engaged* to a woman before our first date.
In fact, it has happened twice.
*Not an arranged marriage or mail-order bride.
This month I have been responsible for closing three bank accounts belonging to a criminal.
Isn’t that four body parts?
I have moved ten times in the past four years.
The age difference, in days, between my parents is the same as the age difference between me and my college girlfriend. We split up.
Number of major arteries passing through my neck providing blood flow to my brain for a period of about ten months: 3. Number of major arteries sucking blood out of my brain to feed my arm during the same period: 1.
My first five boyfriends had only two unique birthdays among them.
My husband has been married to two women in his life, and they have the same birthday.
Every man who acted like a jerk after I refused to date him was born in August (six of them).
I have worked at 4 adult business.
I’ve been married 28 years and have yelled at my wife zero times. She’s yelled zero times too.
Was your extra tooth on the top or the bottom?
I had 6 wisdom teeth - an extra one on each side on the bottom. My dentist told me that extra wisdom teeth on the top were uncommon but not rare and that he saw patients with them every now and again.
He said that he had heard of extras on the bottom but that he had never seen them himself in 20 years of dentistry.
