puhlenty!
But the assured results of modern science has proven
without a shadow of doubt that most scientists believe
in what they have been told about subjects they themselves
don't have experience in, so most would not question
how many thymii (sp?) are in the average mouse...
this will really goof up the results of countless
immunological/cancer studies...is it possible that
humans have extra thymus or thymus like organs hanging
about???
Oh...boy, this could be huge.

And scientists wonder why their credibility is questioned.

Geez, I never thought I'd need to know the plural of "thymus"! Thymi? Thymuses? Thymice?

Is that a miniature organ or am I just not your type?

It is not uncommon when examining lymph nodes from the neck or parthyroid tissues (from the neck) to find thymic tissue there also. Apparently bits of organs can be found in 'heterotopic' locations!
