Apparently not everyone has these. I learned about them on an AskReddit thread many years ago. The title of the post was something like "what's something about people's body that they probably don't know?"

I showed the comment about this to my wife and she found she has them. She was so freaked out by their presence that I've refused ever since to find out whether I do.

Human bodies are weird! Tongue things, ear lobes are weird, some people can smell ants! There's so many more!

I remember a surgeon commenting that sometimes muscles and tendons can be in different places or even outright missing in individuals. That must make surgery fun.

Soon I'm supposed to have a surgery on my spine but possibly coming from the front. I've had about a thousand MRIs leading up to this. Apparently a goodly number of them were just checking to see if they could even get to my spine past the stomach (and, more than that, veins).

I don't really want to need the surgery, but I don't envy the surgeons, either.
