Accessory nipples ...........

lucylespian

Was just doing some work and I met another accessory nipple. Some people have up to three of these, making five in total if you count the two that are in the standard design spec.
So, not sure if this has come up before, but back to the old creation vs evolution thread, I'm pretty sure that accessory niples are a good arguement toward the evolution side of things, vs creation .
I know in the Middle Ages, an accessory nipple was referred to as a "witches teat', and was used by withchfinders as an excuse to get girls clothes off before burning them at the stake. I wonder if the reason they hated them so much was that even then it was evidence that man was derived from animals ??
Too much for their paltry egos to stand !!

Pardon my ignorance, but the hell is an accessory nipple?

With a good imagination the possibilities are virtually endless.

How is a nipplectomy going for these days?

So am i understanding correctly? An accessory nipple is simply a superfluous nipple? i hardly see that as solid proof of evolution as the origin of the species.

Accessory nipples occur along the mammary line. This is a line of embrylogical tissue that runs along the abdomen up to the chest. Depending on your species, a varing number of nipples and mammary glands will form along this line during embryological development.
Dogs, pigs etc have between 8 and 12 teats. The number which occurs is a reflection of how many offspring there are to feed at any one time.
Humans are meant to have two, the ones you are familiar with but often a third one develops. Ross from Friends had one. Ocasionally you will see more. I have seen three extras on one person, could feed a litter of five !! The development is usually rudimentary with no mammary gland underlying.
The occurrence of accessory nipples strongly supports the idea that we are derived from species that routinely had more than two nipples.

Sorry but I have to correct you. It was Chandler who had the 'nubbin', as he referred to it. Ross had the strange 'thing' on his butt cheek that came off whne it got suck on the weird dude's watchband.

That's cool, it's been a long time, and I was a sporadic Friend's watcher at best, don't mind being corrected.
was that the weird dude who was always naked in his apartment ??

no, that's 'ugly naked guy', whose apartment Ross ended up moving into. The weird guy was a friend of Phoebe's who was some kind of alternative medicien practitioner. I was never an avid freinds watcher, but Austar (my cable people) currently show 5 episodes in a row on Sunday mornings. I do the ironing while watching it! I really like the show now, trust me to be a few years behind the trend!!!

Yeah, I ended up watching a lot in the end, found it pretty funny at times. I have Austar too, but I don't watch on Sunday, too many outside things to do. Hey, I was at the concert in your sig, wasn't it a blinder, definitely the best I caught out of the three on that tour ?? I remember ugly naked guy, but not the weird guy, oh well !!
And you type like I do, must be a counrtry Qld thing ! LOL !!

I still think the witch's teat disproves the existence of God !!

alls an accessory nipple proves is that mutations occur that doesn't prove or disprove creation or evolution.

But imagine what a treat for those who may have a daring combo fetish for feet and breasts.

Has nothing to do with it, but Salem Witch trials in Massachusets were 1692, probably the last in the western world. 18 hanged, one old man "pressed to death with heavy stones" for refusing to submit to trial, hundreds imprisoned and terrorised.......................great times !!!

just cause i said superfluous nipples are weird doesn't mean i'm not accepting.

ajedigecko

individuals born with an extra finger???

i only have one nipple.

if it is about evolution, then where do these "accessories" fit in?

Well I only saw that one concert so yep, it was an absolute blinder. My sister and I had 12th row seats, which we were stoked about given we'd only been in ten club for a month before the tour announcement!!!! I'm not sure that gold coast boondocks, is really quite the same as Warwick, boondocks wise, you're a hell of a lot closer to a starbucks than I am!!! That's pretty much my yard stick, sad but true!!!
