The number of skeletons inside of a human body is statistically greater than 1.
Fuck, that's a good one
I like skull more, but both are great.
actually, you're forgetting about amputees and people born with fewer limbs. it's likely less than 1.
Skeleton, not bones. Amputees still have.a skeleton, don't they?
I lost my skele back in 'nam
Dang commies!
We didn't make Agent Orange. That was Monsanto, and Dow.
the question is: is a skeleton that's missing pieces still "one skeleton"? And if so, at which point does it become not a skeleton? Because i'm reasonably sure you wouldn't call a severed foot a skeleton even though it is still arguably "one skeleton" that is just missing a lot of pieces.
And you’re forgetting that about 1% of the population is pregnant at any given time and has another whole human inside of them.
honestly curious about how those two would end up statistically balancing out.
There are not very many amputees compared to pregnant woman, and babies have a lot more bones that are in your typical limb
in case anyone's curious: the worldwide birthrate is estimated by the UN as ~140 million babies/year. assuming an average pregnancy of 9 months and no disregarding miscarriages/abortions, that leaves ~105,000,000 pregnant women on the world at any one time.
According to this study there were 57.7 million people living with amputated limbs from traumatic causes worldwide in 2017. while this disregards birth defects i do believe that it's a reasonable assumption to say that there are indeed less amputees than pregnant women worldwide.
