CoXiX - עד מאה ועשרים - tails worth telling: the new 120 by 120 word blog.


In many ways Jorvik Stilten could be a veteran resident of Seven Dials, but in fact he only arrived recently - as editor of the Nordic cultural newsletter. He is also a practicing chiropractic, and researches the coccyx. In humans and other tailless primate (since Nacholapithecus) the coccyx is the remnant of a vestigial tail, but it’s not entirely useless. Together with the the ischial tuberosities and inferior rami of the ischium it  is  part of the weight-bearing tripod structure which acts as a support for a sitting person. The ischial tuberosities will play an important part in our story, but meanwhile events start on New Year’s Day, when the Residents assemble for the annual Winter Trek across the Downs.
