In accordance with a sensible procedure practiced by User:GUllman, the articles for the numbers 201 to 299 will be 'grown' here in the article on 200 until they are big enough to merit their own articles. Once that happens, a new page is created for the number in question, linking back to this page, and this page is changed to indicate that the number now has its own article. User:PrimeFan
Number of bones
I learned several times in my life that human beings have 206 bones, but Wikipedia says 214. Is this a belief of human beings that changed?? 66.32.143.38 19:45, 1 May 2004 (UTC)
- This could be one of those things that depends on whether some things are counted as one unit or two (see 72 and 73 for an example on how books of the Bible are counted).
- I'm going to get a copy of Gray's Anatomy, count the bones and let you know what I come up with. PrimeFan 18:44, 2 May 2004 (UTC)
- this was my source for saying 214: http://www.archimedes-lab.org/atelier.html?http://www.archimedes-lab.org/numbers/Num201_500.html hte Wikipedia article human skeleton says 206. 141.217.173.174 19:11, 2 May 2004 (UTC)
- Alright, here's what I came up with by counting in Gray's Anatomy, 206 bones, not counting cartillage. I also looked on the Web, and many sites consistently said 206. I could only find two sites saying 214, one of them giving 214 as a maximum, and another one citing 214 as a misstatement of fact in the movie T2. PrimeFan 14:09, 4 May 2004 (UTC)
