      My brother broke his in kindergarden. And somehow his body decided that that bone is not needed anymore. Now he has no controll over it and you can just tilt it with your hand. It’s very weird.

        The bones broke and weren’t set properly, so they fused together

        It wss a joke about how coffe tables are my feets arch enemy, frozengryo makes a better point that I would be more likely to make more bones bashing them on a coffee table then lose them.

        I’m not a doctor but I’ll go ahead and say that yes, you are a medical curiosity the likes of which humanity has never before seen!

        Full disclosure: I have no idea what I’m talking about and completely made that up.
