I also have no wisdom teeth. The dentist was surprised, too- he said he’s seen people who only have 2 or 3 wisdom teeth, but never someone missing all 4.
I can also put my feet behind my head, but when I do both at the same time, I fall onto my back in a helpless pretzel shape, and it takes a bit of wiggling to get out of it.
Like jsgoddess, I can wear any of my rings on any finger, although it’s a bit tight on my middle fingers so I don’t wear them there for long, for fear if I got bloated or gained a pound I wouldn’t be able to get it off.
Forgot these but was reminded by others (chalk these up to the “me too” variety): if I make fists with both hands and touch them together side by side, palms down, but extend the forefingers of both hands, my forefingers curve away from each other so that the tips are about an inch and a half apart. The base knuckle and the middle knuckle touch, then they separate.
I also had two sets of wisdom teeth.
Ear buds don’t stay in my ears. Something about the shape of my ears just doesn’t keep them in.
My feet don’t match. My left foot is at least a half size longer than my right, and on top of that, the toe “patterns” are different. On the left, my toes simply get progressively longer from pinkie to big toe. On the right foot, they get larger to the middle toe, then the one beside the big toe (the “index”) gets shorter, and then a larger big toe.
The weird(er) thing? My sister has the same anomaly; but on opposite feet!
My toes are weird. The two toes closest to the big toe on each foot are connected farther up than usual. A lot of of people in my mom’s family have this trait. Once I pointed it out, my relatives started checking everyone for it. One of my cousins has it even worse than I do–on his feet, those two toes are barely split. It’s freaky.
There is no part of my body that is symmetrical. It’s like my left side is from one person, and the right side from another person who is slightly different in every respect. Even my eyes are slightly different colors.
But unlike a lot of other people, I find it very easy to use both hemispheres of my brain at the same time.
Huh. A chiropractor once told me that I was entitled to a bit more curve in my lower back because I have an extra vertebrae. I sure wish I’d asked more questions at the time to find out where the extra one is and whether that’s common or what.
I have occasional back problems. It only happens maybe once every year, but it’s bad enough that I literally can’t walk for for a couple of days when my back goes out. My doctor had me get an MRI a few months ago and we found out that one of my vertebrae is malformed; the hole that the spinal cord passes through is more oval shaped than round, and where most people have a bone spur sticking off the side of the vertebra on each side, on one side I have a dog bone shaped hunk of bone growth.
When I asked what could be done (I was picturing surgery of some sort), he kinda shrugged and said, “You’re screwed.”
How I dread that little twinge in my back when reaching for something… which doesn’t hurt at the time, but 20 minutes later means I’ll be peeing in a bottle for the next 3 days or so…
I am not sure if I it as a true body anomaly or a trait.
I am mostly ambidextrous. Upon further reading in The Wikipedia I think I may be better classified as having Cross-Dominance.
After a few moments of warm up I can write equally as well with either hand. I do instinctualy use my left. Although I tend to use a mouse with my right hand even for my detailed Photoshop work in my print business. I sometimes if need be keep a Wacom on my left so I can use both at the same time. Throwing especially for precision like darts or a baseball for a short distance both work the same. I can however trow a bit farther with my right hand. I do seem to favor my right by a smallish bit for some reason. Catching seems about equal. Guns the exact same.
Some swinging sports are hard because I never really know what one to use. I could never really get good at tennis because I always wanted to change hands all the time so I never really needed a backhand and was always a little awkward. I don’t like golf all that much because I want to switch back and forth and that is a littel awkward. I just have a par three course in Homer. If I pick up a new activity It takes me a bit to decide what hand to use. Even If I can use both I have learned to focus on favoring on over the other so that my practice time can be concentrated and not watered down between two hands. Some times sport just never really feels RIGHT. Or I am naturally prefer one hand but the equipment is meant for the other while I finally get the right equipment I take a bit of time to train the naturally preferred hand. So I can be awkward with my dominate hand at times. It can take a ling time to decide what the dominate hand is if ever.
One of my little toenails grows out straight for about 2 millimeters, then shoots straight up.
ex. _| It makes a 90 degree angle off the nail bed.
Both of my pinky fingernails grow at an angle away from my body.
ex. \ |||| ||||/ My manicurist thinks I’m strange.
Most of my teeth are jammed too close together to floss. My dental hygenist can barely do it. Despite my inability to floss, I’ve never had a cavity.
I have Morton’s Toe - where the 2nd toe is longer than the big toe, plus I can spread all my toes apart just like my fingers.
My eyes change color from dark brown to light gold to green to gray. I had an ex-boyfriend tell me once after an argument that my eyes turned blue in the middle of it and he never wanted to see that again. Scared the crap outta him.
I cannot touch my tounge to the tip of my nose, but I can do other things with it that are probably the subject for another thread.
I have freakishly large pupils. I had an eye doctor tell me that at night, the reason I have difficulty seeing is because my pupils extend beyond the range of my contact lenses. For this reason, I have extreme sensitivity to light at night and can see very well in the dark.
I’m another ‘no wisdom teeth at all’ freak. I’m firmly convinced we are an advantageous mutation in humanity, and represent the Next Great Step Forward. Our kind will be the first to develop psychic powers, shape-shifting and the ability to fly at will. Just you wait and see.
There is also one aspect of my physical body where I can honestly claim to have 50% more than the vast majority of other men. This has been confirmed by scientific measurement. And it’s not a part that would be readily visible if you were to just meet me socially. This is 100% true. I may come back later and provide some clarification. Then again, I may not.
My 4th toe on each foot turns in and sits a little underneath the third toe. It looks like the 3rd and 4th toes didn’t separate enough when I was cooking in my mom. I can’t spread those toes very well. I also have flat feet.
Thanks to a recent bout of iritis the pupil of my left eye is no longer round, it’s slightly flattened on the bottom. It also sits a little higher up in my eye than the right pupil. It’s somewhat better than it was a couple months ago, then it was more obvious and much freakier looking.
