Did You Know that Ideal Toy Company was the first company to mass produce teddy bears.

When police arrived in Appleton, Wisconsin to remove a woman's children because of a complaint that she had given her 11-year-old daughter a "swirlie" (Holding her head in a flushing toilet). The woman reportedly said, "I haven't had a vacation in 13 years, go ahead and take them!"

did u know that it is totally amazin that th complex human body can live with an live without a spleen. aint that amazin? eh?
That's a value judgement rather than a fact. I don't think it's particularly amazing, to be honest. Humans can live with or without hair, little fingers, earlobes, eyebrows and many other bits and pieces.
Did you know that this begs the question of why an intelligent designer would include it in our bodies?
well, actually when i said that you could live without your spleen, i meant that it is possible to survive without it. however, you will be prone to many illnesses as the spleen is one of the organs that is part of the human immune system. so without your spleen, it is possible that you will live. However, you will not be able to fight off diseases like a person that does have their spleen. so that is why Allah gave us a spleen.

Haha.
Did you know that the appendix, tonsils were considered to be vestigial organs too but were later removed from the lisrt since thier uses have been found?
Therefore the spleen's uses will soon be found an you will then have to edit your post.
And regarding growth of hair, this has not been proven scientifically yet but the early muslim scholar Imam Sadiq has said that they are used to remove sickness from the body. You probably know about protein transamination.
