Just when I started getting used to a life sans appendix, I read this motherfucker:

"Appendix may be useful afterall! Scientists may have found appendix’s purpose!"

ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? My incisions hurt just THINKING about the fact that my seemingly useless organ now has a fucking purpose.

Who do you think you are Associated Press?! How DARE you make a mockery of my 3 day-stay at the Jesus-Freak St. Elizabeth's Hospital (because it was closest to my apt -- it was either death or live with crazy Catholics for 3 days...some say it's the same choice now that I think about it....) They had excellent ice chips!

Well good luck to the rest of you that have an appendix -- hope that that it doesn't want to depart from your body because apparently, it serves some kind of purpose now. Fuckers.
