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 have a hole in my heart, but that's not the exciting bit.The interesting bit isn't missing but I do have a couple of extra ribs on the left side of my body that had to be surgically implanted there as my heart is a bit lower down than it should be.
The story goes that this was discovered when I was taken to the hospital as a toddler and was having various test for something or other, and the doctor began to look puzzled. My mother asked what was bothering him and he replied with 'I don't think it's much cause for alarm, as your daughter is obviously alive, but I can't seem to find her heart.'
