That is false. Everything else you said is true. Do a search on google for the Red Ensign. It was Canada's flag up until 1965 and THAT is what is on the two dollar bill!
See... you don't know everything, I do :P

that little pink collection of skin on the inside corner of your eye is an actual remnant of a third eyelid that humans used to have back in more prehistoric times, (think, caveman or earlier) that closed from side to side, much like the third eyelid of a dog. Like the dogs' third eyelid, it was used to protect the eye from debree while running through brush, particularly while either hunting or being chased. The eyelid was transparent enough to see through, while covering the eye surface completely. Another vestigial stucture like the skin fold, is the human tailbone, which today serves no purpose in human daily life, but gives a strong inclination or suggestion that at one point in the development of the human species, humans had a tail.

What would our bucket seats look like if we had a tail today? Hmmm..

That's really interesting. Never thought of the eyelid thing but the tail was always interesting. Although I might add that the tailbone could be considered our last measure or protection before spinal damage.
There's that other thing like no rooom for wisdom teeth. Or that stupid appendix that exploads from not being used.
Speaking of wisdom teeth, did you get yours taken care off?

[foff667]

could also be the reason dogs are mans best friend...maybe in a previous life we really were...things that make you go hmmm

We used to have room for wisdom teeth, especially being that the bone structure of prehistoric humans was much broader and larger than the present day ones. My older brother doesnt even have wisdom teeth in his top jaw just because he never had them to begin with, which is quite the perfect example of how humans are beginning to get rid of things we don't use, at least for those on the higher end of the gene pool, with more advanced DNA, like that of my genius 4.0 summa cum laude older brother. I think that was a run-on.... Anyway, the appendix tends to explode more because of infection due to indigestible, rough, and irritating debree getting stuck in it, rather than it just not being used. Well, I guess if it could be used, it wouldn't explode from debree getting stuck in it... So your right. The appendix is the humans' gizzard, essentially, and is supposed to grind up ruffage, so i guess just our basic diet change caused it to have nothing to work on, and thus become a vestigial stucture like the rest of these fancy useless things we have.

But you probably already knew all of that, because you are Jon Prevost, tall, handsome, deep voiced genius.

And I have not gotten my wisdom teeth taken care of yet, but as of right now they are not causing me any pain.
