    I'm stunningly beautiful.

    I've learned to live with it.

    My thumbs bend 90 degrees in both directions, ie in towards my palms and also away from them.

    I have spock ears! I also had a total oesophagectomy (removal of food pipe due to cancer) so my stomach (well how it has been sewed back up) is up at my neck, is funny when I get hungry as I get a pain in my throat! I also have a few scars from the surgery, the one on my back looks like a shark bite!

    My sisters got Morton's toe.

    Her second toe is bigger than the big toe. Most people have a slight variation of this but her second toe is about 3cm bigger, and has an extra knuckle.

    It's vile!

    http://www.wisegeek.com/what-does-it-mean-to-be-double-jointed.htm
    Being double jointed means that you can bend your joints more than the average person. There are many misunderstandings when it comes to the meaning of being double jointed. In one case, the term itself implies that double jointed people have twice the number of joints than normal human beings. Some even assume that double joints allow for twice the usual amount of motion. However, these meanings are myths. All human beings have the same number of bones and joints, all of which have similar capacities for movement.

    Very interesting. I've never heard of this before.

    Wow - you win!

    I feel so ordinary now, all I have is a burn scar on the back of my left hand that I don't remember getting. And a freakishly thick neck for my body size; I'm a 44' chest and an 18' neck.

    I've tried numerous times to get a picture but she's very paranoid about it so it's never on show much.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,035 ✭✭✭Plazaman


    Jesus, the storyline for X Men 4 is right here, must contact Hollywood.



    My ex girlfriend had a strange mole on her cheek and a weird ferret on her shoulder.......

    *gets coat*

    We're going to need a bearded lady.

    Interested? :pac:

    I have a hairy arsé , we could call it a lady if you like. Would we be circus people or carny's ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,178 ✭✭✭✭NothingMan


    My ears are pointed, but my right noticeably more than the left.

    My right pinky is all crooked and swollen at the hand since I broke it a few months ago.

    My jaw cracks very loudly if I do a wide yawn.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,346 ✭✭✭KTRIC


    I have a freakishly huge penis :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,940 ✭✭✭4leto


    I am very beautiful and incredibly handsome, I would be perfect if I wasn't so damn short sighted.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 34,808 ✭✭✭✭smash


    I can dislocate my shoulders at will. It freaks people out when I do it, then tell them to put their finger in the hole, then pop it back in.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 486 ✭✭jackie1974


    I had a naval hernia, it looked and felt like a little person was trying to squeeze out my bellybutton.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,022 ✭✭✭✭Cuddlesworth


    I have this weird lightning-bolt shaped scar on my forehead. Don't ask, it's a long story.

    I have a scar on my forehead, long and thin and jagged in the middle from where I fell twenty feet from a apple tree head first onto a old crumbling paving slab. I was about five, scar is faint now twenty years on but visible if you look closely. Then at about eight, I had to wear glasses permanently. Over the years I've kept my gloss black hair at around a medium length, generally messy because I'm inherently lazy about my appearance. Just over average height, lean build with wide shoulders.

    And I've hated those ****ing books and movies since the first of many stupid "Hey Harry" comments all those years ago. :mad:. Stupid paving slab.

    If Im in mid yawn, just as Im ready to breath out, if I close my mouth I exhale through my ears.

    I've a thin lower torso and a broad upper torso.

    Have a scar on my leg from when as a teenager, jumped a mountain bike off about 10 steps and bolloxed myself (also bent the handle bars down on landing).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 856 ✭✭✭Karona


    I have a very light pimented mole on my forehead right inbetween my eyebrows, it looks like a bindi that Hindu women wear.

    I can dislocate my ring finger on my right hand, freaks the hell out of people. :D

    I also never developed knee caps.

    The 2 scars on my back look like a zipper along my spine. Mam suggested I actually get a tattoo of a zipper over it.
    I could be a super x man that can remove their epidermis like a suit and be resistant to fire etc in my Skelton form.

    Yes I admit I'm sk-elemental woman!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 148 ✭✭Shiner11


    I can crack my lower back regularly.

    Scars dont bother me but for some reason a pic gives me pause! You use your imagination to add the zipper 'tracks' - It has a dimple that looks like a zip thingie though.

    I can't think of any. My body is boring. :(
    I've a thin lower torso and a broad upper torso.
    This is weird? I thought it was just a nice natural shape to have.

    If i puff my cheeks out really hard, sometimes an extra "pocket" of flesh opens inside my cheek and it feels weird.

    Both of these happen to me too, everyone thinks I'm mental when I try to explain them.

    Other than that I'm quite normal, I do have very bendy fingers though, which tends to creep people out when I start pushing them back. I also have a bone sticking out of one of my toes. I obviously broke it at some point and it didn't set right, so now you can see and feel the bone sticking out. Oh and one of my ears is noticeably bigger than the other.
