Aki Posted October 28, 2004 Report Posted October 28, 2004 How come women have one more rib than men? Please don't tell me the story about how men gave away a rib to make women! Quote
BlameTheEx Posted October 28, 2004 Report Posted October 28, 2004 Aki Are you sure they do? I know it is mentioned in the bible, but that is hardly the most up to date of medical journals. A quick search of the net gave this answer: Ribs (12 pairs - same number for men and women)http://users.tpg.com.au/users/amcgann/body/skeletal.html Quote
IrishEyes Posted October 28, 2004 Report Posted October 28, 2004 Aki,I searched on this before I saw Blame's post, and found this very amusing page in response. Hope you enjoy. http://biology.clc.uc.edu/courses/bio105/ribs.htm Quote
Aki Posted October 29, 2004 Author Report Posted October 29, 2004 thanks for the link Irishthat explains everything so now I can tell the people who think that women have more ribs than men are WRONG! Quote
BlameTheEx Posted October 29, 2004 Report Posted October 29, 2004 Aki Yep. I guess somebody was ribbing you. Quote
