Bony brain!

As far as the number game goes the limbs take it all! Does the work and then takes the fall!

Quantity matters since numbers make up percentage and percentage make up the votes! This is not political thought! It is your body! One of the few places where numbers may not matter!

Everyone knows that an adult human skeleton consists of 206 bones in total!

Then again if you count the numbers the adult usually has lesser number of bones than the child! The adult of course counts more than the child officially  but everyone knows that children are the kings and queens! At the time of the birth they have around 270 bones! Do we treat them wit so much kindness and concern since they have so much bones! Interesting line of thought!

As they grow older the bones start to fuse and finally they the numbers settles to 206! Which is also when they become more rigid and inflexible and well, when they are no longer the recipients of much concern or love! At least not easily available! They have to earn it!

Again as far as the number game goes; More than half of your bones are located in the hands, wrists, feet, and ankles! There are a total of 126 bones in the limbs (both upper and lower). Each limb has 30 bones, so two arms and two legs account for 120 bones. Additionally, the shoulder and pelvic girdles, which connect the limbs to the axial skeleton, add another 6 bones! With such a huge ‘majority’ stake; the limb is the ‘decision’ maker! or at least ‘implementer’! If you want to pick up something or do something, you need the limb! If you want to run away or towards the danger, you need the limb! Then again, like most ‘majority’; even if you have the number, you literally do not have the brain! The brain with absolutely no bone of its own which is like zero number, finally makes the decision! Then again the strongest bones are ’employed’ to protect it!

Interestingly, the largest bone in the human body is the femur, also known as the thigh bone. The smallest bone is the stirrup bone or my favourite stapes bone! which is located inside your ear drum. So your largest bone makes you run while the smallest makes you listen! Our whole life is spent between these two activities! We either run away or towards something or someone or we listen or try not to listen to something or someone!

Then you also have the boneless stomach which can eat and store anything and everything! But is does not have any protection like the brain which is may be why it tries to escape from the front as soon as you become an adult! The muscles are those security with absolutely no power than just the uniform unlike the bones which makes it difficult for them to control the stomach! Yes! You can use that to explain your pot belly!

By the way, even though it is surrounded by bones, even our tongue does not have any bone! Then again it also has no brain! Which is why it is free to say stuff which does not make sense while the upper limbs with no brain (again!) is free to type nonsense!

With all these going around though, you would realise that the limb and the tongue actually do not have any bad intent! That originates only from the boneless brain! The brain would make you do and say senseless stuff and leave you to face the brunt of ‘its’ actions while being safely tucked away in the center safe which is the skull! This is just like the center leaders who would incite the brainless limbs and tongues to cause problems and face the music so to speak while being safe themselves! Our body is a literal country!

Finally you have the court jester which tries to stay away because all this is really amusing or funny for it! Which is why this particular bone is called Humerus!

Occasionally though tongue not having a bone makes it and the other boneless structure like vocal cords produce amazing songs like by Hemanth da!

Now close your boneless eyes and sleep!

Shubh ratri!
