Backup organs
As Professor Farnsworth says in FuturamaâGood news everyone!
According to Ananova, two Bosnian brothers have been found to have 4 working kidneys each:
Josip Galic, 69, from Kucetine in Bosnia said: âI had a car accident and doctors discovered I had four kidneys. That surprised me, but at least it explained why I could drink all my friends under the table, and never had a hangover.â
He added it was a further surprise when his brother found out after a visit to the doctor that he had four kidneys as well.
Handy, no? I mean, I know that one of your kidneys is technically a spare since you can function with only one, but multiple backups are definitely the way to go.

Sweet! Let's hear it for quadruple redundancy!

iam envious.. kidneys have high black market value, and having two of them means a nice chunk of change if you choose to sell em.. wooo for them.. iam sure being in bosnia they could use the extra bank, especially after the not so semi recent warring goings on in the region..
