July 21: Dem bones, dem bones...

This evening, for some reason or another, my wife made a claim that feet are the human body part that have the most bones. I can't recall how the conversation started, but I was always of the understanding that the hand was the part with the most bones. So, I looked it up. As I thought, the hand is in fact the body part that has the most bones in the human body, with 27 bones per hand for a total of 54 bones all together. Ironically, and something I did not know, is that the human feet have 26 bones each, for a grand total of 52 bones; provided that one possesses both feet. I even learned that of the 206 bones in the human body, 106 of them are in the hands and feet!
