There's a funny story from Christian lore about the philtrum. I normally don't bother with such ridiculousness, but this one's an oddball. Basically, it's like this: A baby was crying, and Gabriel (the angel) put a finger over the baby's lips to shush him/her. (I forget which gender, but it doesn't matter.) Now everyone has a philtrum because angels defy how reality works and can give physical, non-genetic changes in a person's body to all of that person's descendants and apparently even people it wasn't involved in the birth of. Yeah, just cut one of your arms off and see if you have one-armed babies. If you do, you're one unlucky bastard and I'm sorry you had to get such a terrible coincidence. But you cut your own arm off so you're stupid anyway.
