Are you still 100% OEM?

I had four teeth pulled to have braces, but my wisdom teeth never grew in. There is one under the gums that they offered to pull, but I was pretty adamant of not having to pay for unnecessary things.
 
The mechanic has been under my hood removing old parts and/or installing a few new parts so I'm only about 85% OEM.
 
Over the course of a lifetime we as a people can lose -and even gain- body parts. The former is more common than the latter, but not having anything removed/added is a possilbility too.

So are you still Original Equipment Manufactuer?

Do you still have:

Your wisdom teeth?

Your appendix?

Your -ahem- foreskin?

Have you had any body augmentation?

Me? I'm 99% OEM. I'm only missing what most men in the US are missing as of days into being born.

:lol:

This seriously made me laugh out loud.

Much to my chagrin, and based on medical advice of doc's in the early '60s (i can't blame my parents), i'm missing one especially significant (to me) piece of original equipment.

The Wisdom teeth came out in my 20s because they were causing me extreme pain on a regular basis.

Otherwise, I'm all original. :bolian:
 
100% OEM and everything in pristine conditions, sir! :techman:

Still have my wisdom teeth, tonsils, foreskin, etc. I have some fillings on my teeth, but that's it.
 
Wouldn't being OEM be impossible if you consider the fact that most of your bodies cells die and are replaced continuously?
 
I have all my original parts, except for my wisdom teeth. However, my knee and my sinuses have had repair work. So, I'm 99% complete. I am, however, in need of some body work, due to poor maintenance and high mileage.
 
Wouldn't being OEM be impossible if you consider the fact that most of your bodies cells die and are replaced continuously?

Yeah, but they're being replaced by the originals so the "new" ones count as being "OEM", at least enough for me for the purposes of this thread.

But having implants installed -decidedly not OEM.

For the purposes of this thread we'll consider OEM to be that your body's overall "design" is the same as it was when you were born -with it's intended growth -i.e. puberty and even the loss of the hymen (otherwise no woman would be OEM)- and not necessarily every cell in your body being the same one it was when you were born and/or conceived.
 
I'm without my wisdom teeth, obviously baby teeth fell out and were replaced by teeth of equally poor quality, but that's pretty much it.

I've considered getting a breast reduction but I'm very hesitant about it.
 
I had three regular teeth removed when I was a teenager due to overcrowding. Other than that, however, I've never had anything added, removed, or broken.
 
Circumcised here. I still have all my wisdom teeth but am missing a couple of molars. If I get enough money saved up, I'd like to attach an extra pair of arms to my torso for more multi-tasking/carrying abilities.
 
I'm a 100%er, including the naughty bits. They tried to get me to let them take out my wisdom teeth, and insisted that they would hurt, but they never did and grew in fully.
 
My wisdom teeth have been extracted, and I've lost a molar to bad dentistry and two front teeth to a long-ago blunt trauma injury that created slow-growing abscess in my jaw.

My tonsils are long gone, as well.

I have two holes in my ears from a disastrous decision to pierce them.
 
hmm..minus an appendix ,4 wisdom teeth, foreskin, a small piece of both Vans Deferens removed (at age 35)and 2 deformed adult teeth (literally, they looked like fangs and at about the right positions..on my upper jaw..) that were removed when I was 13 years old..

No parts added, though I had some small bone fragments fused in my elbow to keep it from becoming deformed after a compound fracture also at 13 years of age (my repaired left arm is about 1.5 inches longer than the right as a result).

13 was a rough year for me..
 
I missed the modification bit: I have two tattoos, and one hole in each ear. I used to have many more ear piercings -- when I was 11 I got 5 in each ear. I let them all grow in, though, throughout high school and college, and I'm not so much into piercings anymore.
