my outer 2 toes on each foot are turned slightly (this is a known sign of superior intelligence - you could look it up).

Heh, never saw the pics, but I have the scars to prove it.

I have spina bifida. Basically it means there is a gap in my spine. Kinda hurts the old back.

Malfunctioning heart. :(

Blood pressure in the double-digits (96/52) and a resting heart rate of 56. Low 40s when I'm sleeping.

And people wonder why I always look so pale. :(

I was born with a VSD -- Ventricular Septal Defect (a hole in one of the walls of the heart). The doctors told my mom that I probably wouldn't grow and explained to her the warning signs of heart failure.

Well, I grew. But during high school, doctors discovered that I have cardiomyopathy. Reggie Lews of the Boston Celtics is probably the most famous victim of this disorder, along with Hank Gathers.

Mine was still under warranty, so I sent it back as soon as the problem became evident. I'm still waiting for a replacement.

I have a birthmark on the back of my neck. So do my two brothers. Speed bump in the birth canal?
