Aki Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlameTheEx Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
