Weird things about you physically

I have a little bump on the back of my head, slightly smaller than what you might get if you bumped your head on something hard. It's right in the middle ~2 inches above where my hair ends. I've had it as long as I can remember, always assuming everyone had one. One day when I was like 16 my mom felt it and freaked out. I was like "wtf, doesn't everyone have that?" Apparently not. Anyway, I promised her that I remembered having it way back when I was younger so it was pretty unlikely to be a mutant brain tumor. She made me get an MRI anyway. It came up safe, I don't really remember what the explanation was.

Both my brother and I have this very same thing. Ive heard it called a 'bump of knowledge' before, but I have no idea as to the actual significance. fwiw A 'bump of knowledge' is present in most statues of Buddha and it appears on his head. This is to show that he is all-knowing.

That's pretty cool. I should have told my mom that when she found it.

OK I just measured...sticking the ruler in the crevasse between my big toe and index toe, my index toe measures between 2" to 2-1/8" That's about what I would have guessed.

I think this is what it is, external occipital protuberance. I believe it's pretty standard, but I'll ask my roomates if they also have it when they get home. skull

There's a patch of skin high on my back with no pigmentation, that doesn't tan or anything. I think of it as somehow scorpion-looking, though it doesn't look anything like a scorpion.

My dick's kinda weird.

I have the Celtic body - huge head, broad shoulders, deep chest, stubby limbs.

My arms don't completely straighten - I'm pretty sure this is the result of improper weightlifting, rather than freakishness.

Question for LF Slim: Are you a warlock?

I have one of these too, also high on my back. I've never really looked closely to see if it looks like a scorpion though.

I have a scar on my Forehead where I hit my head in 1st grade. The weird part is as I grew the scar is about 1 inch away from the dent this left in my head.

I have this bump also, I thought it was just where the sections of the skull came together?

Yea I always assumed it had something to do with that or the base of the brain or the top of my spine or something. Apaprently it's weird though. Go ask some of your friends and feel their heads. I was pretty shocked when not everyone had it.

p.s. Don't tell your mom, she will probably freak out.

i have this too, i thought everyone had it until like you, my mom noticed it and was all worried like something weird is going on with my head, so then i started to be more conscious of it too. but i never had to go to the doctor. it just feels like a bumpy bone to me.

I have animal senses and reflexes and I can also heal from any injury at an extremely quick rate. Also my bones are bonded to unbreakable adamantium.
