Four! Four Lurgies! Bwa-ha-ha!

Setting a new January record, lurgy #4 comes out of the pavilion and gets ready to bat.

There's a catastrophic sense of humour failure taking place over mid-Devon right about now.

Yeah! There are! It's a congenital defect (1 in every 200 people) causing vestigial ribs to grow from C7. They connect to the proper first rib by fibrous bands that run round the side of the neck. Google 'em!

How cool is that?

I don't remember encountering any while prodding you, not that I was looking. Mutations at both ends of the spine would be something though, eh?

It's entirely unlikely, however it might explain why I'm always so tender there and why it feels like the muscles are made of bone. Maybe they are!

A one-in-two-hundred chance that you've got a mutation?

I'd bet on that. ;)

The muscles do bend though. I distinctly remember them bending without horrid crunches. Swearing and strange sounds yes, but not crunches.
