Story TIme!
The page is dedicated to unknown facts about the human skeleton, fun jokes, interesting stories and funny pictures. The first four cites below are all about facts about the human skeleton that many people don't know. Some of the facts are, the human hands and feet house more than half of the body's bones. All the bones are connected to each other except for one, people can be born with an extra rib. Lastly, bones are not the hardest substance in the human body.
The fifth cite is dedicated to corny jokes about the skeletal system and skeletons; that cite has more than 50 jokes on it. The last cite obtains a very interesting story about a rare disorder and I strongly suggest that you read it. The disorder is Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva (FOP), and this is when your body grows a second skeleton. The girl, Peeper, was diagnosed when she was four and her parents were told she wound't live to her teen years. But, she lived past then and opened her own association dedicated rare bone disorders and has been president of that association for 25 years. |
