Belly buttons
My wife has a new belly button again. I think this is the first time her belly button has not been a very going inny type. There is visible skin in the little dent and not much knot visible. With all the surgeries she has had it has taken a fair bit of reconstruction over the last couple of years. The current one looks great. All that for a vestige of where we are joined at birth and while we form as a physical person. Lots of little bits on the body are strange like that. Either have no more purpose as in the belly button or no actual purpose ever like nipples on a man. Biology was probably my weakest science subject at school because a lot of it makes no sense. There is no logical order to it all. It ends up looking great though (except for maybe slugs, ewww).

mn have nipples because at conception the foetus isn't sexed so it grows them just in case.
