So perhaps the evolutionary deadend of our "ordinary channels", do, in fact, have a purpose. Think of it as a "germ purse". Instead of probiotic yogurt one could market the essence of the vermiform as "Creme d'la Colon" or as "appendix juice" (apologies to Michael Jackson) as a means of getting one's "good bacteria"

Yes, but it was a Duke study...Journal of Theoretical Biology? I'm sure we could come up with something...
I saw the article. Strikes me as mostly conjecture, with little or no way to prove it. Didn't change the view I expressed here. But I'll keep an open mind.
Then there's the old joke:
-What does a pathologist find when he cuts open a normal-appearing appendix?
-a $1000 bill rolled up real tight.
Did I just sign up for a blog with a picture of a colon? What was I thinking?
