Why Some Humans Are Born With Tails And How To Avoid Giving Birth To Such.(Pictures)
~6.1 mins read
I thought I should bring to your attention one of those unusual things you may think only exists in the cartoon/movie world- but actually exists among human beings.
People can be born with tails.
It is very rare.
But it can happen.
As far as human literature and recorded history is concerned- there have only been about 23 of such human beings that were known and noted since 1880s till now.
So it’s not as common as you think.
It’s thankfully a very rare thing, and mostly quite harmless for those who have it.
Why does it happen?
We don’t know for sure. However what we do know is that ALL human beings while growing in the womb have a tail-like structure which disappears in the second month of pregnancy- so you are not born with it.
But in these people, it doesn’t seem to disappear.
The medical term for it I vestigial tail.That’s what it’s called. As I said, vestigial tails only mean there was an error in the development of the child which causes the tail to persist till the child is born- rather than be absorbed into the body like other babies.
The term “vestigial†is used for those human body structures which are deemed to be useless or not particularly important for human survival.
In simple terms, these are body organs you can actually do without. Examples of such structures are appendix, wisdom tooth, and a tail.
A vestigial tail is mostly just skin, fat, some muscles and nerves. That’s all. There is no bones, or spinal cord. They can NOT use it to hold or grasp anything.
And some may not be able to move it.
The treatment is simple: Surgeons just cut it off. That’s all there is to it.
Anyway I hope you learnt something. Vestigial tails are rare- but they are NOT impossible. It does NOT mean the child is abnormal.
These things happen.
Take the child to a hospital – Not the evil forest, or a garbage dump site by the road.
Now, my question is, imagine you've been seeing someone and just when you are about to take the next step you discovered he or she has a grown tail folded or hidden under the pant all along. Will you still go ahead and get married to the person?
Please, I really want to read your views especially for those that believe in true love.
I shared this with some friends and I got different reactions. I believe I will get more views here.

Stop Saying 'Flash Me'. This Is The Correct Word To Say.
~2.5 mins read
Nigerians have this obscure gift of coming up with words, phrases and tenses that will suit their communication. Be it in pidgin, slang words or their native tongue, Nigerians are always creative. There are numerous words that are wrong which we see as normal.
One of the words we use regularly which is incorrect is 'flash me'. Flash me refers to when someone calls you and allows your phone to ring for a second and then cut the call.
Flash according to the dictionary means to blink, briefly illuminate a scene or to shine briefly. But, flashing is not related to a call. Probably it's because the phone's screen flashes that's why Nigerians coined the word 'flash me'. However, it is wrong.
What then is the correct word to say? The correct word to say is 'ring me' or 'beep me'. Let's endeavour to put this into practice. Stop saying 'flash me'. You should say 'beep me' or 'ring me'.
Remember that ignorance is a disease and knowledge is power. Be informed!
