The appendix is a highly disappointing body part and serves absolutely no purpose. Research suggested the appendix was for the digestion of grass. Eating grass is an evolutionary feature we humans have given up on since just before we took to walking on two legs. The appendix then has perhaps overstayed its welcome in the human body. However, one did wonder if the appendix would be capable of picking up its old job again. An ill advised experiment with the long grass in my garden revealed that the appendix has definitely ceased to work and the resulted in stomach cramp and vomiting.
In fact the only thing an appendix seems able to do for the modern human is appendicitis. This is where the useless appendix swells up, very painfully, with poison which can lead to gangrene or blood poisoning and eventual death. Luckily, if caught early a “hot appendix” can be removed in surgery.
The resulting scar from a removed appendix is surprisingly large and is certainly impressive. Unfortunately its use for macho posing or showing off in a “Jaws” situation is none existent owing to being placed rather low down on the body. Showing it at children’s parties is just wrong and strictly prohibited.
So to recap, the appendix can’t do its old job, it potentially kill you, if removed lit leaves a large scar near a rude place and serves absolutely no purpose. In conclusion then, safe to say nil points to the appendix.

In an age of CGI this hairpiece remains one of the last standard-bearers of animatronics and may be the swan-song of the dying art of the theatrical prosthetic. The creators, in attempting such a bold and ambitious idea, are obviously caricaturing the ever-changing, formless yet transfixing nature of American politics itself. To try to pin its shape or essence down is like trying to catch fog in a bag - approach the entity too close and notions such as 'shape' and 'boundary' become entirely meaningless, and leave the viewer rapt and dizzied by the endless possibility of the infinite.

Undoubtedly the star of the TV programme, the only down side of such an amazing headpiece is it renders The West Wing itself almost entirely unwatchable, as the viewer's attention is drawn inexorably and irresistably towards the miraculous endeavour, perched almost coquettishly atop the skull of actor Bradley Whitford.

It may be that modern 2-dimensional television is simply unable to provide a canvas broad enough to contain both this hairstyle and dramatic tension; no doubt ideas such as this will be more fully explored in the forthcoming era of affordable and practical 3-d viewing technologies.

You don't need them on a road car and they just make cars look stupid and chavvy.

That's just wrong, in every sense.

You see out of em. All the beauty of nature. - 1 point for the amount of things that can go wrong with them!

Not on do they allow for different angling of the forearm to the upper arm, but flexing your ripped biceps wouldn't be half as impressive without them. They also have the capacity to cause a disproportionate amount of pain - I'm sure everyone has managed to hit their funny bone before now, but I recently discovered (rather stupidly) that if you manage to bash your elbow with enough force it causes the back of your hand to hurt.
This amount of power truly excels the elbow into the realm of top body parts.

They stop objects rolling into your eyes, they provide an attractive fringe round the edge of your eye, you can flutter them if you want to look winsome, rain drops & snowflakes can balance on them, you can colour them in should you wish to do so (technically true of all body parts I suppose), you can buy small heated devices for making them curl upwards, and if one falls out and alights upon your cheek, you can make a wish on it. Basically a rather magical item which most of us are lucky enough to have growing out of our eyelids and which can provide us with hours of entertainment/personal grooming opportunities if we are so inclined. And if you haven't got eyelashes, or feel you are inadequate in this area, you can simply stick some fake ones on (not that I've ever tried this as the idea of putting glue very near to the edges of my eye alarms me, although there MUST be some built-in way of ensuring that you don't stick your eyelids together).

Hoorah for eyelashes.

Very useful for smelling, and adding an interesting feature to your face and profile. Comes in many shapes and sizes, but can be rather painful when bashed.

Can't be beat for all your grasping, clutching and general holding needs.
