Everyone shits on the appendix, but what about the pancreas? Yeah, yeah, it makes insulin, but it does a pretty crappy job considering how easy it is to get diabetes (although that's more of a testament to how crappy our food and drinks are these days).
What does it actually do besides give you probably the worst form of cancer?

I think the pancreas is slightly more useful than the appendix. And obviously there is some wiggle room with the kidneys.
You know what, my mom who was a nurse for 35 years always said that it was the poor liver that everybody shit all over. She said that the poor liver took a terrible beating. Always remembered she said that.
I would think your pinkie toes would be more useful than your pancreas.

It has a purpose. It deepens men's voices. Without it you'd sound like a little girl. I don’t have one and I don’t sound like a girl, except when I see a ghost.

What a bizarre post. Of course the pancreas isn't useless, if it were, people would not become reliant on insulin when it stops functioning properly. As the mother of a son with type 1, I think this is about the silliest post I have ever read in my life. You need a functioning pancreas. Thanks to Frederick Banting and Charles Best, my son is still alive, but he would much rather have a working pancreas, it would be a lot less bother. Pull yourself together.

I was about 11 and I came down with severe pancreatitis. It happened during Christmas break from school that year so yeah that was my worst Christmas ever. I was laid up and in pain for at least 2 or 3 weeks. I went to various doctors and had to drink that horrible chalky shake stuff so they could see inside my "innards" a couple of times at the hospital. Crazy thing was that it just went away. The doctors couldn't figure it out.

What does it actually do besides give you probably the worst form of cancer? To answer your first question: No !
To address the rest of the OP... Google is our friend. Using it before posting might eliminate useless posts like this one that served only to illustrate the ignorance of the poster. Suggestion for subjects to have researched before posting such a fact deficient thread frivolously worded OP. Pancreas Insulin. Diabetes - causes and effects Cancer

We'd all probably die as babies without it.

The Pancreas at least DOES something, whereas who actually reads the Appendix at the back of a book? I mean come on! Duh!
