- berntb 10y agoI got just one extra spleen (small, one percent of the population or so have that. Edit: at least that was what the doctor told me; TFA said 20%). I call myself "splenically superior" and argue that it obviously explains my mean personality. :-)
- jcoffland 10y agoThe article says your chances of having an extra spleen are one in five.
- berntb 10y ago<Cough> HN used to downvote stupid jokes like mine in the previous comment, not upvote them. I humbly submit that I deserved downvotes. It is better to disincentive us hopeless clowns on HN, even when we manage to be funny. Edit: That was quick. :-)
- dang 10y ago> The spleenless wonder For those who might not recognize it, this derives from a hilarious (and, atypically, authenticated) witticism of Churchill's: http://www.newsweek.com/boneless-wonder-176272 http://www.newsweek.com/boneless-wonder-176272. Had my kids been in Parliament in 1931 they would have said "burn".
