25% of a human’s bones are in its feet.



BONUS FACTOID: Newborn babies have about 300 bones. They gradually merge and disappear until there are about 206 by age 5.

I currently have pain in between my Metatarsal bones from wearing flip flops too much.

Good things summer's almost over then. ;)

Thank you for saying 206. I have an ongoing argument with Mrs. Puckhndler (the woman I live with, my wife) because she heard in the 'Terminator 2' movie, Sarah Conner say "There are 215 bones in the human body..." when she clubbed the psychiatrist on the wrist with the PR-24.

Vindication! Take that, know it all wife!!

(don't tell her I said that, please)

I had to memorize all those dang bones for a college class I took - Bio Structures 300 - basically human anatomy - complete with human cadaver dissection!

Wow...I bet that was interesting!

Learned much about this subject in 'medical legal death investigation', varied and profound requirement for the line of work I was pursuing in the 80's.

Now adays they call it CSI and every other brothers son is one. Autopsies rarely ended up with bone structure assessment, unless it was involved with the cause of death, but still we had to learn.

Mrs Puckhndler some times has trouble differentiating between Hollywood and reality.

Don't tell her I said so...

It was smelly Jess - VERY smelly!
