I always knew on some level that I needed my spleen, which is why I have been taking such good care of it.

As long as no one suddenly finds out that the Appendix is the key to a long happy life...

That'd be silly....all it does is make you more attractive to others via pheromones.

The odd thing is that I thought we knew this already?  My Gran had cancer which spread to the spleen.  When they were going to remove it (you can tell the unhappy ending by that phrase) they said that she would be more vulnerable to infection due to the role described in that article.

And, come to that, revered medical expert Tom Clancy refers to it in Patriot Games.
