A member asked:
I can pop my costal cartilage out by either using my hands to pop it out or by putting pressure on it. it doesn't hurt. is there a name for this?

Yes: its called "popping your costal cartilage out". Probably a bad idea to do it often, as over time you can damage the supporting soft tissue and cause them to get lax and weak. Might be better off finding something more productive to keep you amused. ;-)
