Your appendix is more useful than you think

Overview
Because I'm not a permanent resident of the US, I'm not eligible for Obamacare, so when I'm over there as a tourist I take out travel insurance. [...]this was in 1900, a long time before any of us were being misled at school. Because lymphatic tissue is important to our immune system, subsequent biologists speculated that the appendix might have some immune function. [...]our immune systems, to borrow a metaphor from Parker, become like bored teenagers: they have nothing to do so they find something stupid to get up to, which in this case is causing an inflammation in your appendix for no good reason. [...]your immune system is much less likely to become deranged by tedium, which means your appendix is much less likely to swell up until it either kills or bankrupts you.
