why did she put a balloon underneath her dress?
Because she's a silly Billie that's known to pull such pranks.
What about people who have had limbs amputated?
Do teeth count as part of the skeleton? If you've lost teeth do you only have 99% of a skeleton left?
According to this, bones don't start forming until the sixth or seventh week of gestation, so does the fetus technically not have a skeleton before then?
So many questions
For the sake of this exercise we'll consider skeletons rounded to whole integers. And air resistance may be ignored.
Assume a spherical skeleton...
Just goes to show how your prejudices affect your judgement without you realising. I just assumed everyone's skeleton was a perfect sphere one unit in diameter and mass, at rest, on a perfectly level, frictionless, infinite plane and in a vacuum. Like mine.
Well then the average is just 1 isn't it. It doesn't make any sense to integer-ise your inputs but leave your output rounded.
I'd argue you still have one skeleton if you lose limbs or teeth.
Amount of skeletons is an integer representing the anount of bone structures holding and protecting human body (or whatever's left of it).
The real question is, how much of which parts of skeleton can we lose with it still being skeleton instead of a set of bones?
Skeleton of thesus?
Everyone else is failing to count the number of babies (140 million per year) nearly all of whom have 100% complete skeletons and set that against the number of amputations of perhaps a few percentage points across a much smaller number of people annually ("more than 1 million annually").
I’d argue teeth aren’t skeleton because they’re not made of the same substance as bone - the outside is enamel and dentin whereas bones are collagen, protein and minerals (mostly calcium). Kinda like how hair and nails don’t count because they’re made of keratin.
so does the fetus technically not have a skeleton before then?
The cartilaginous pre-bones would still be a skeleton. Sharks have skeletons, but don't have any bones for example.
Will no one bring down the average? I guess they won't be stepping up ...
On average, humans have one testicle.
Less than that. There are more women than men and some men have less than 2.
this is bigoted propaganda against bonelessness
Ivar is INCENSED!
We're the Martians!
The average amount of testicles in a body is less than 1
I don't believe that is true. It might surprise you how often testicles are eaten.
Aren't babies cartilaginous at birth? Guess it's still a skeleton as it is a structural frame, even if it's not made out of bones yet.
It's scary enough that we have one skeleton inside and now I have to worry about the potential for two of them?! How am I supposed to sleep
Chances of getting Boneitis increases with every birth.
Me eating small birds and stuff 🤷
You don't pick out the bones first?
Crunch Crunch Crunch sorry what did you say?
This reads different if you miss that it's not a to level comment.
Test
That is clearly a ball of some sort, possible fairly heavy as she uses two hands to hold it in place.
Totally explains all the skulls and rib cages in MK3.

Proof that men can have babies (and adults) inside of them.
The article says the doctor was able to shake hands with the twin but didn’t confirm wether the twin was able to be saved or not?
Saw a documentary a long time ago. He died within a couple days.
Based on the order in which bits of his brother were removed from him, I’d assume not.
Dennis Prager logic
Ooh the anti-choice people aren't gonna like this meme
For pregnant women, right?
Do you understand how averages work?
If there are 8 billion people on this world and each one has one skeleton in them, then the average number of skeletons is one. If even one of those 8 billion people have two skeletons in them, then the average is slightly more than one.
So the average is more than one for pregnant people, but also for all people as a whole.
I'm sorry to burst everyone's bubble but this doesn't make sense. The average person is not pregnant. Therefore the average person does not have more than one skeleton in their body.
It's the average amount, meaning that if one person out of the entire world was pregnant, the average would be technically more than one, even in the slightest degree.
I think even on balance, considering fractions of skeletons in whole people, you're going to end up with more than one skeleton per person despite some of those people missing bones or limbs.
It's like one sixth of a percent more than 1:1 if there are 135 million babies born each year on earth, but that's not nothing.
