Why do you have appendices?

They Where originally used to by caveman humans, to help digest plant matter such as grass or leaves. Now days we don't tend to have a diet based on these complex plant matters and so we have no use for the appendix. Because of this misuse the appendix is often very shriveled and small. This means it gets swollen and infected easily. Having your appendix taken out will cause no harm or dietary changes so don't worry about having it out if you need too.
