Is it a cold or an allergy? Could it be psychosomatic, like Adelaide in Guys and Dolls?
I have a large birthmark on my right forearm that is darker and harrier then the rest of my arm.
I've got pectus extavatum. It's not quite as bizarre looking on me (IMO) as the example pic in the article, but still quite deep. It's unclear at this time what superpowers it confers.
I can be in an electric (or hybrid) car for 60 seconds and I feel car sick.
I can't click my fingers
I can't do head over heals, or handstands.
I can't read clock faces. At least quickly.
I can't believe you said that. I have it too and in fact, on facebook am running a "name that hair" contest (yes, i am so easily amused). My arms are almost hairless except for this one bizarro hair. I have to cut it on a regular basis, although right now i'm kind of interested to see just how long it would grow if i didn't. (Again, easily amused.)
My husband has this too, although also not as pronounced as the one in the photo.
Edited: I also have wisdom teeth that never developed.
I have, in fact, used it to cradle bowls of soup when sitting in bed. The swell of my stomach coming off the indented sternum is the perfect shape to support one in the half-sitting, half-lying position I find myself in when leaning on a pile of pillows.
I edited my remark about using the concavity as a cupholder as I thought it was insensitive. I'm glad you didn't take offence.
it's been suggested it's to do with dust from the air con at work to me.
AFAIK, it's a cold. sniffles, sneezing. nearly all year 'round.
Do others at work suffer similar symptoms? If not, then look for an environmental cause at your home.
And here's the solution...
(god it's so difficult to type when you break a nail... I keep missing all the keys. That's a tooth cusp and a nail today. I'm coming apart at the seams.

I've also got that - can listen to music all day without being plugged into anything. Besides the whole "not having to carry a device around or worry about wires snagging or earbuds falling out" aspect, it's better than any iPod or Walkman because I can also make my own loops and mashups or invent new music on any model, all just by thinking it.
I get that sometimes, but it isn't too often and usually not an insurmountable problem. Usually.
What irks me isn't getting music stuck in my head, but other sounds. Usually it's voices: I'll get a small bit of dialogue from a movie stuck in my head, or a fragment of a conversation I had or overheard. Sometimes it's as little as one word, but the voice and intonation are exactly as I heard them. The worst is when I can't place it -- the word or phrase will swim in my head for hours or days before I figure out where it's from, and sometimes it's from a movie or TV show I saw years before.I've also got that - can listen to music all day without being plugged into anything.

Yeah, that happens to me quite a bit. Sometimes it'll take me several go-'rounds before I'm finally able to place it.What irks me isn't getting music stuck in my head, but other sounds.

I was born with three kidneys. They had to remove the third one when I was a child because it was giving me problems. Not a nice experience. I hope that my mutation in the next life will be something cooler, like, I don't know... Magneto? 
Or maybe I am a prototype of things to come and we'll all be born with spare parts in the future.

Did you keep it in a jar? Or better, cryo-jar? It could come useful in the future...
One of my mutations makes me your polar opposite: my hands and feet sweat excessively. If I rest my hands on a smooth surface, I can leave puddles behind. Annoying and embarrassing!
So that begs the question, Asbo -- which one of us is Mr. Glass?
As for my kids, they don't seem to have inherited my hyperhidrosis, but they do experience synaesthesia (to a much higher degree than the tiny glimpse I have of it). They also both have the gene for tasting PTC, which they got from their dad. And oddly enough, they each have a visible non-functioning extra tear duct -- I have no idea where those came from!
My slightly larger head and the thing attached to it I see in the mirror in the morning.
