Two balls. Besides, the penis is in the middle of the "snowflake" -
it's still bilaterally symmetrical. At least in theory. :-)

Anybody who's ever had sinus problems might agree that there would be a
good place (gravity pulls that crap back down into the lungs, instead
of directing it towards the exit). I think a sinus redesign should
include a hatch in the skull - when things get clogged up, you could
open it and either go with "glove up and dig in", or just thread a hose
in there and flush it clean. (I've had numerous opportunities to
consider the matter <honk>)
