re: Missouri Bill Would Warn Parents of Evolution Boogeyman

Any designer who would include the appendix as part of human anatomy is a poor designer. It's an organ which directly kills thousands of people all over the world every year and serves so minimal an immune function that extensive studies have shown absolutely no difference in the infectious rate of ANY pathogen among those who have and have no had it removed.

Additionally, people over the age of 50 who still have their appendix have a slightly increased risk of colon cancer due to the appendix becoming even less efficient and leaking toxins into the bowl.
