Men have the same amount of ribs as women FYI... I am an Xray tech i see it everyday

men and women have the same amount... Many reference the bible and say that is says women have one more than man. That is untrue. And the bible never says that either... It says God took a rib from adam to make eve, but never references how many ribs adam had before, nor that IF he had one less that every man after him would have one less. (same idea that if I loose a finger my children wont be missing a finger). This idea is where that common misconception come from of a women having one more rib than a man. :)
