I am getting a supernumerary wisdom tooth removed this week.

Wiki says 1 in 8 (!) people have polymastia, or extra nipples.

My old flatmate had polydactyly. And I knew a girl with a vestigial parasitic twin with teeth and everything that was removed in adulthood.

Pics are optional.

Apparently the fabric of space-time has a rather disgusting kink here at MacNN. :/

I have a small lump on my ear that has the same color and consistency as the rest of my skin. I've had it since birth and it's barely noticeable.

Maybe I'll get it pierced.

Eh, doesn't bother me, it's like a tiny lobe on my lobe.

I have twin-lobage!

Anyone ever noticed that Jack on LOST doesn't have ear lobes.

My wife and my youngest daughter have a slight webbing between their 2nd and 3rd toes on each foot (syndactyly). An hour after she was born, the hospital pediatrician asked us if we wanted to schedule plastic surgery to repair the deformity. I was a bit pissed. Dude was standing about 12 inches from my wife's exposed feet, and could have bothered to see that she still had it before acting like it was a deformity in need of surgery.

When I rotate my shoulders in a circular motion they make a particularly loud snapping noise. Freaks people out. It has never caused me any pain nor adverse affect. Even simple things like bending over to pick up a heavy box can trigger it.

Went to school with a girl that had double pupils, one on top of the other. From a distance it looked like she had cat eyes. She had dark hair and vivid blue irises. Quite striking actually (in a creepy way).

One of my cervical vertebraes (C5), which normally should be only one, is divided into two. Only side effect is a stiff neck when the weather is cold.

As is the case with most of my SO's family.

I remember reading about that in biology during high school, so when we first starting dating I checked to see if everyone else had it, and they did.

Luckily, she didn't have the other thing I remember from that section of class: mid-digital hair.

I have (lots of) freckles. I have been told they are a genetic defect. And South Park says I'm a "Ginger" and I have no soul.

Well, it *is* a deformity -- otherwise you wouldn't be posting in the "What deformities do you have?" thread. :-P Whether or not it's in need of surgery depends on the person. Your daughter may be pissed when she grows up and learns that you could have done something about her nasty webbed feet.

This is pretty tame stuff. I mean, sure I knew a guy with webbed toes. So what, it's not like he was the elephant man. (Kinda maybe NSFW intense image below)

Some guys have all the luck.

I was born with glass bones and paper skin. Every morning I break my legs, and every afternoon I break my arms. At night I lay awake in agony until my heart attacks put me to sleep.

I have a large "bump" on the outside of my right foot. My mom says it showed up around the time when I was two. I haven't had any doctors look at it recently, and it's never really bugged me.
