Missing body partsNow there are some bits of your body you don't mind losing - my dad's just got rid of a kidney stone, my own tonsils once tried to asphyxiate me, and nobody wants warts.
Other bits are more useful - a family friend recently lost an arm... which would be OK if his job wasn't managing dis-armament talks.
What have you lost, and where did you leave it?

I'm an enthusiastic cyclist(though you wouldn't think it to look at me). I lost the fingertip on my right index finger. I'd recently fitted a spangly new front disc brake, and had gone out on a ride, during which it started rubbing. Whilst trying to fix it, i spun the wheel to listen for rubbing (as you do) and caught my fingertip in the disc rotor. I had the usual gap between realising what i'd done and it actually hurting. It cut the tip off nearly down to the bone, and never fully grew back, so my right index finger is probably a mm shorter than my left. It also feels flatter and peels sometimes, it's very weird.
