What is this part of our body exactly for?

I did some looking up on Wiki...and i think i may be screwed from this crap...

A lil info would be very nice.

You don't need your appendix.

I believe it is an organ that used to be used part the body's immune system, but through evolution, its become a vestigial organ (or at least it is not really needed). In fact, some people die now because their appendix becomes infected. My cousin got it infected, and he had to get it removed.

 Ahh i see, you should check out the Wiki at some point, real interesting stuff, and i went to the hospital and was there for 6 hours along with my mom and dad, turns out im fine, my white blood-cell count was normal, and it turns out i damaged some parts of my muscle around the area we're the apendix was. false call on my part i guess.

Better safe then sorry i say. :D thanks for the info to iz.
