Maybe that's just me, but I only understood like 1 out of every 7 words in that article
A much easier read: https://www.cornwalllive.com/news/uk-world-news/people-born-tiny-holes-above-811203
TL;DR: it's called preauricular sinus and is thought to be vestigial gills
Vestigial? We gotta find that gene.
It’s the aganoff gene. Still in us
Can I get updates on this gene daily?
I'll take them too but only if something big happens
I'm trying to wrap my head around "invagination". Like I'm pretty sure I get the general gist of the meaning, but it's really making me realize I don't think I know the etymology of the root word at all...
A hole’s a hole.
It's what the Volkswagen Auto Group calls it when you buy one of their cars.
I assumed it was a scar from a failed forward helix piercing.
Glad I can't accidentally factory reset my brain.
This seems like an improvement. I've got a lever that shuts off my whole brain when you pull it.
I have one of those. I spent most of my life confused why when I scratched my left ear, it made a waxy feeling in my throat and made a horrible smell, but nothing like that happened with my right ear. After I got married, my wife asked if she could "pop the pimple on my ear", and she squeezed around that sinus and it oozed this horrible white goo.
I wish I hadn't read any of that
Marble-ize me cap'n!
