Do you have hanging earlobes?

    I do, but I know a lot of people who don't. The trait of having attached earlobes is recessive - you need two parents with attached earlobes for you to have the same, but just one parent with hanging earlobes should guarantee you a nice wiggly bit at the end of your ear. However, Japanese and Chinese people are more likely to have attached earlobes than hanging ones. Why is that? Why are we evolving detached earlobes while Asian people are evolving attached? What does this mean for society???

    Anyway - back to the original point. How are they hanging (or not)?

    YUP and it wasn't so long ago I realised that half of American guys are circumcised and Mirimam's flaps hang down.
    Strange world.

    I don't really know what you're on about tbh with attached and detached lobes.
    But I have no earlobes - everyone always slags me because of it :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,762 ✭✭✭✭stupidusername


    I was under the impression that most peoples were pretty normal (attached) but those who wear earrings weighing a bit for many years would make them hang. I didn't look at any links though so I could be talking about something completely different

    Oh jaysus, why did you have to write that? Now I'll have to go back on the bottle in a - probably vain - effort to get that image out of my mind.:eek::eek::eek:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,133 ✭✭✭✭ejmaztec


    Mine are attached and stop my head getting a good battering in a strong wind.

    That is not where I thought this thread would go!!!

    Attached means no earlobes. I thought you either had earlobes or you didn't, but apparently we all have earlobes but some are attached and some are detached. Meh - equality and all that.

    Nope - attached is less common and it's a genetic thing.

    Ernst Stavro Blofeld cut off his earlobes in an attempt to be Comte Balthazar de Bleuchamp.

    I heard Miriam O'Callaghan tucks her vagina into her sock when she's not using it to have babies.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,458 ✭✭✭senorwipesalot


    wheres the semi detached option?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,333 ✭✭✭RichieC


    mine are somewhere between hanging and attached. technically hanging, though.

    I heard if she lets them hang and then wiggles side to side really fast and makes them slap together, it sends North African elephants into heat.

    Mine are attached too OP. Can you curl your tongue?

    Mine are hanging, but before you take me to your bosom as one of your own, I also have Neandertal DNA, an extra rib, an extra lower vertebra and some archaic skull features, so I'm a throwback caveman. :D

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    That's pretty cool. You should carry around a big club too.

    Naw sadly I didn't get the huge strength as part of the package. Small club orange with vodka OK?

    Maybe it's an evolutionary thing? Europeans would be among the least modern populations around as far as archaic features go. Europeans have the heaviest brow ridges and the like. Modern humans have been getting more juvenile in features over the last 50,000 years. The Asians would generally be more juvenile in features, ditto for African folks. So if hanging ears are juvenile traits(which I suspect they are) then I'd expect that Europeans would have the most in the population.

    No. I can't touch my nose with my tongue either. I can bend my thumb back to touch just above my wrist though. Yay!!! :D

    I know a guy who can triple curl his tongue so it looks like a shamrock.

    I have detached lobes and can touch my wrist with my thumb. My niece can do that weird shamrock thing with her tongue. We thought she was one of a kind but obviously not :D

    Maybe your niece dresses up as a guy every now and again and pretends to be a friend of mine.

    And you do lobes and the thumb thing too?? Maybe we're the same person!!! :eek::eek:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,221 ✭✭✭BluesBerry


    No, my earlobes are attached I can roll my tongue and tip my nose with it, I can bend the tips of my fingers downwards while the rest of the fingers are dead straight and my thumb knuckles can be bent inwards


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,194 ✭✭✭saa


    I want to rename this thread do you have normal earlobes like a normal person
