I've got two of them, you've probably got two. Eyebrows, I was wondering why we all have these apparently useless appendages. So I googled it, lots of pages (I leave you to do your own research, it's interesting).
What other appendages do you wonder why we have them, surly only useful things survive evolution, or do they?
(Ok, I do think of some weird things)

You got me thinking so after I'd looked up eyebrows I moved onto finger and toe nails. Equally fascinating.

And nails stop your fingers and toes from fraying.

I always thought eyebrows were there to stop sweat running down into our eyes... ?
I'll Google it.

To stop dust and dandruff falling into your eyes was what I always thought.

Can't you get dandruff in your eyebrows too, though? confused

I think my eyebrows are there in case birds run short of nesting materials!
hmm

Any ideas why eyebrows stay dark when my hair is grey silver? Not sure if the Alistair Darling look suits me.....

Nose and ear hair. I got on just fine without it when I was younger.
