A pterotoma is a ball of hair that just grows inside some people for decades. They aren't even tax deductions. Do those people get to keep the pterotomas if they want? No. And no one gives you their seat on the bus if you're growing one. If you really want to say cut down on your snacking, all you have to do is Google image search pterotomes and you will not be hungry.
Hey, kiddo, it's what's INSIDE that matters -- like your guts and bones and squishy brain and intestines and stuff. Meet Dr. Varshana Gurusamy: diagnostic radiology resident, Texan and amazing person with great stories. You'll learn the difference between an MRI and an ultrasound, between a CT scan and a CAT scan and why you should not put big things in orifices that you might not be able to retrieve them unaided. You'll want to hug a radiologist ... as soon as they take their lead gonad shield off.
