| Did anyone actually count their own ribs? - Besides Marilyn Manson of course. I definitely have an odd number. After seeing my X-ray at a chiropractor's office I started to wonder. I suppose there must be some evolutionary advantage to having one rib of an attenuated length. Maybe it helped my early ancestors hurl a spear more effectively at a mammoth. But, pre-Darwin, the same folks who gave you the actual number of angels who could fit on the head of a pin, came up with the creation from a rib dogma. Just curious about how widespread this attenuated/atrophied rib syndrome is. Maybe there are males with a full set, I haven't been up to the surreptitious counting in the gym - it might be misconstrued. How about an online count? |
