Best Answer

A supernumerary nipple (also known as a third nipple, accessory nipple, polythelia or polymastia) is an additional nipple occurring in mammals including humans. Often mistaken for moles, supernumerary nipples are diagnosed at a rate of 2% in females, less in males. The nipples appear along the two vertical "milk lines" which start in the armpit on each side, run down through the typical nipples and end at the groin. They are classified into eight levels of completeness from a simple patch of hair to a milk-bearing breast in miniature. Polythelia refers to the nipple alone while polymastia denotes the presence of glandular tissue. Sourced from: http://www.elresearch.com/Polythelia Hilarious...

Can you use nipple bars as tongue bars?

Yes, as long as the gauge is correct for the tongue piercing - for example : nipple bar is 14 gauge - usual tongue piercing jewellery is 14 gauge and the length of the nipple bar is the correct length for the wearers tongue (this varies from person to person). Basically - if it fits - wear it!

How do you get an internal pipe wrench to grab the nipple?

You insert the correct size wrench into the pipe and as you unscrew it, a cam grabs the inside and hopefully unscrews the nipple. It may break also. Most pipes are rusted too tight for an internal pipe wrench to loosen them. What you can do that takes a little time is insert a hacksaw blade in the nipple and cut a notch through the nipple. This relives the pressure on the nipple. Tap around the edge with a screwdriver or chisel and then try the wrench. For extremely rusty pipes, cut the nipple in 3 places and knock out the pieces.
