  1. Every1 has an adoms apple.. Some are just more noticable than others.


  2. Because God said.

  3. Interestingly enough, the reason it's called the "Adam's Apple" is that there was a myth that a piece of the apple from the Garden of Eden got stuck in Adam's throat, and so all men have that lump, and women don't.

    Of course, the "bump" is from the larynx (or "voice box") and while women have one, it is less pronounced then in men usually. (To be technical, what you see is the Thyroid cartilage.) There are women who have a pronounced bump, and men who don't, but that is relatively uncommon.

  4. Because Eve ate hers.

  5. Scientificaly everyone has a small piece of flesh in front of their voice box.

    When mens voices break their voice boxes expand pushing forward the flesh and forming an Adams Apple, that's why it moves when they speak.

    Women's voices don't break so the flesh is'nt moved but still exists.
