It pays to read the "useless knowledge" section at the bottom of the page....

The hump of a starving camel may flop over and hang down on the underside of its belly once the fat is used up.



That clears up a LOT of things up for me.



(I'm obviously part camel.)

That explains what my problem well...maybe I'm starving and don't realize it?

Cheryl said...

The visual on that is awesome!

What is this "Used up fat" you speak of?

And here all this time I thought it was just my deflated muffin top.

I'm a camel? Explains a lot and certainly now I understand those desert dreams, though I have to say, it pushes me towards a scary identity crisis.

Poor camels, that is so sad ... floppy humped camel = hungry :(

Re: humans ... I used to live in a State that had some pretty large humans, I cannot imagine them all walking around floppy .. shudder ... the fat might look better !

Anything Fits a Naked Man said...

This is why I eat a lot of fat to keep my hump fully inflated at all times!! Nobody likes a saggy hump!

Dawn said...

This made me laugh out loud! Thanks I needed it today!

Fascinating. So many things are piecing together now!

Lori said...

I was wondering what to do with this useless hump!

Mellodee said...

Well, if you're part camel, I sure hope you take better care of your teeth than this guy!! His mouth is green!! Oh, wait, all he eats is grass. I guess that explains why he's starving! Get that poor thing something tasty and I bet that hump just pumps right up!!

The Empress said...

I, for one, am glad I don't read the fine print, b/c I love me some useless facts.

Helps me look like I have a case of the smartlies.

Love your stuff!

Okay that explains A LOT. I'm part camel and part turkey as in my neck. I'm also going to the dogs. Pretty soon, they'll be no human left in me.

Aren't we all???

Scope said...

I think Victoria may have a Secret that can help with that.

The Pipster said...

Oh you are not. Now go fix yourself a nice toddy and watch something mindless on the boob tube. I totally just pigged out. Menstruation City.

SSP said...

so how come my ankles and calves aren't bigger than my hips? I mean if gravity does that to a camel, is that what i can expect???

Irish Gumbo said...

I prefer to think of it as better utilizing my center of gravity.

I used to have a beer stein that said on one side:

"A camel can go eight days without a drink!"

The other side said:

"So who wants to be a camel?"

badabing!

Char said...

Really? Did you just make that up?
I was going to make some smartass remark about that hump, but I stopped myself just in time. :)

Rima said...

Better than "camel toe"!

Steven Anthony said...

This explains everything!

That camel has my underbite...

anymommy said...

I've seen a starving camel (not kidding, in Mongolia) and I've had the lovely pleasure of meeting you. No comparison ;-)

Frau said...

Oh! god me too! But I'm certainly not starving!

Secretia said...

The only time I have a relaxed stomach muscle is when I'm sleeping!

WeaselMomma said...

and the other part is hysterical.

Joanie M said...

Me too!! What a coincidence!

Beth said...

Well, who knew?

I think a lot of us may have descended from camels.
