  1. And can I just say that the ears are definitely the worst. They are awkward and just kinda poke out. Overall they have the least amount of practical use. All they do is amplify and direct the sound coming at you. Technically you could hear with just two holes in your head and not have to worry about your big ears picking up radio signals. Therefore, ears are in fact the worst appendage of the human body.

  2. Worst Appendage: Pinky Finger. Totally. Useless.

  3. False! You cannot have a good grip with only three fingers and a thumb. Do you know how much harder life is for people without pinky fingers? That is crippling. You have to re-learn to do so many things without a pinky. Try spending a day not using it to see just how important it is....

  4. Those sound like fighting words. And it only takes 4 fingers to make a fist

  5. But it takes five fingers to give a high five... You cant argue with that.

  6. So you are arbitrarily judging the high 5 to be greater then the high 4?

  7. I say that the ears are not the worst because you can decorate them. So because the debate seems to be only between ears and the pinky, then pinky is clearly the worst.

  8. Yes I am. High five is completely satisfying and after attempting high fours about 10 minutes ago, high fives are WAY better. And honestly, what would our generation be without high fives? Do we really wanna lower our selves down to high fours? Have higher hopes man... And Jessica, you can pierce any part of your body, not just your ears. Therefor I can make the same argument about any other appendage making your argument pointless and bad. Ears are obviously the worst.

  9. also, ears help you to hear, what has a pinky ever done for you!? O

  10. Pinky promised. And you can still hear without your ears. All they do is amplify.

  11. You can pierce any part of your body as long as their is skin to pierce which makes your statement false and your credibility fall through the floor. If I cant trust you to make an actual argument, how can I take your statements seriously?

  12. A real man needs only his word, not a swear upon his pinky

  13. I'm confused about what side everyone is on.....

  14. Not when your 5 dude... Your word means shit when your five years old. Therefore a pinky promise instills ideals in children to be trust worthy and follow through on what they say. Which means pinkies are not only not the worst appendage, but they are also an important aspect to growing up and childhood.

  15. Children should learn to swear through a handshake. We are teaching children false ideals of honesty that will only be replaced with the coming of adulthood. We would be better to start on children on the path of recognizing the sacred oath of a handshake as soon as possible.

  16. But the only thing more sacred than a handshake is a pinky swear. And where is the imagination in that? You have to remember that these are children and they have imaginations. How is shaking hands imaginative? You cant in good conscience remove ideals of imagination from small children and be able to sleep at night could you?

  17. Based on what Alex said about ears amplyfying, I say ears are the worst because they are amplifying this lecture.....

  18. Valid argument that I support completely! ARGUE THAT ONE KYLE GROVE!

  19. What about your toe next to your pibky toe? If you need all your toes to stay balanced, in reallity you only need the ones on the outside. Even if you just had the pinky toe,.middle toe and big toe you would be fine. Although without the pointer toe, you couldn't wear flip flops, so really just the ring toe is the useless one

  20. Most useless appendage: Tail Bone. Science agrees with me

    ReplyDelete
  21. Except when you walk your foot puts pressure on your toes as your foot leaves the ground. Because you have five toes, it evenly distributes the weight you are carrying among your toes. If you remove one of them, the four toes have to make up for the same weight and you are at more risk for break them or hurting yourself by tripping. So all of your toes are really essential to your being making none of them un-important.

  22. The tail bone should not be a part of this debate. Although it is a bone of the human body, it remains under the skin and does not stick out like an arm, or finger, or toe. Therefore it cannot be considered an appendage. If we did allow the tail bone to be part of this discussion that one could also argue that the appendix is the worst and most useless apendage of the human body.

  23. New topic ideas for next class:

    -Best decade ever?
    -What would happen if technology hadnt progressed past the original invention?
    -What is the most useless invention?
    -Why does bologne have a "g" in the spelling?
    -What came first: the chicken or the egg?

  24. I'm late... BUTTTTTTTTTTTTTT I think that two fingers on each hand are useless. Nightcrawler only had three fingers and he could teleport. Therefore four of our fingers are preventing us from teleporting... combine pinky/ring and middle/pointer.
