have you ever felt a girls rib cage?

Shouldn't it be the boys who have one fewer, if you're going to run with this 'logic?' Eve was made from the rib... But that doesn't mean she'd have an extra one.
This creation myth crap is too complicated... And stupid.
Uhh, no we don't. We have the same architecture (True ribs, false ribs, floating ribs) as men do. Just narrower.
Uh... did you skip Biology, or something? This is blatantly untrue.
EDIT: I also noticed the skeleton on the right had a wider pelvis. How many Fundtards would have picked that up?
Right...
Firstly. I am a med student.
Secondly. Dead bodies seem to not have this extra rib.
Thirdly. There are ways of telling male and female skeletons apart. Usually by the arch of the pubis and angle of arms.
So I would guess the skeleton on the left is male. But the angle is crap so its guess by what we can see.
"have you ever felt a girls rib cage?"
Not only are you getting your own story backwards [Thank Evilutionist], I do not think you have ever felt ANY part of a girl, or even looked at a biology book with skeletal diagrams since those are like necrophiliac pr0nz.
...
I think this person's avatar is actually female.
Of course, she still probably hasn't touched any part of any female...
Now let's see some statistics - what percentage of the female population is 'extra rib on the left' and what percentage is 'extra rib on the right'? Do these percentages add up to 100? Are there abominations (in the eyes of the lord...) who do not have this costal imbalance?
(For all the homeskooled fundies - 'costal' is a medical term meaning 'pertaining to the rib'.)
Meanwhile, in police stations all over the bible belt:
"Another teenager just came in Captain."
"Sexual assault again?"
"Just like all the others; running his hands up and down the girl's sides, counting under his breath."
"Dammit, what the hell is going on around here?"
Stop feeling girls, you pervert.
And as for Eric's quiz: I'm gonna go for the one on the left, it's slightly smaller than the one of the right and the arms are at a different angle, as FMG mentioned.
Some people can be born with an unusual number of ribs, but since this can happen to both males and females it doesn't fit with your crappy mythology. The median number of human ribs is 24, 12 on each side, regardless of sex. So, in conclusion: YOU FAIL.
We seem to have a rash of "big-picture" fundies at the moment, who just can't seem to concentrate on the details. Here we've got one asserting the whole extra rib myth but applying it to the wrong gender; only fairly recently there's also been one who buys the whole "noah's ark has been found" fabrication but applied it to the wrong fucking mountain!
It's painfully obvious they're just parroting arguments they've heard without really engaging higher brain functions at all; rather like those cretins who like the sound of "Couldn't care less" and vaguely recognise that it's a collection of syllables that express disinterest, but garble it into "could care less" because they don't actually bother to parse the damn thing, they just repeat the words by rote, imperfectly.
It's practically the ideal form of Orwell's newspeak; the mouth works almost independently of conscious thought. The speaker spouts prelearned collections of phrases in response to stimuli he's learned to associate them with, without ever really understanding what they say or why they should be appropriate to that stimulus.
Right... first off who feels ribs? Come on theres a much more interesting part of the female body up there.
Oh and my Granddad had a missing rib, doesn't prove shit.
have you ever felt a girls rib cage? she has one more rib on one side than the other
I'll bet the girl whose ribs he was counting said something like, "This is NOT what I meant when I suggested 'ribbed for her pleasure'!"
;^D
JesusFreak is just ribbing us.
@Septic Sceptic
Have an internet, good sir! :D
Oh, come on! He's already collected the whole set, any more you give him now he's just gonna sell on eBay...
Ever felt up a girl's rack? Rack of ribs, I mean...
"Hey, Baby -- can I uh, . . . count your ribs?
HEY, where are you going...? Dang, lost another medical experiment. Wow, look at her run!"
Eric:
I'm going to go with the female being on the left. The Femur seems to have more of a curve to it than the one on the right. The jaw appears more smaller and lighter. The brow ridges look slighter. It's hard to tell from the angle how the pelvis is formed. The ring finger on the skeleton on the right appears to be longer than the index finger.
The angle isn't easy to tell though.
So if the dude's into all that delicious freaky ribcage fondling, I would understand if he were a little distracted from trying to keep count of ribs and occasionally slipped up. Oh, wait, this is a woman answering this question? Excuse me, I need to go imagine some freaky lesbian ribcage action rather than draw the obvious conclusion that she miscounted her own ribs.

Isn't ADAM supposed to be the lop-sided one?
hahaha, owned right off the bat
Once, I decided to feel a girl's ribcage, but on its way down her front my hand encountered something MUCH more interesting, and I completely forgot about her ribs.
Well, since it's usually men that say this, and they know that they've got the same number of ribs on each side, logic dictates that the original condition is lopsided, and thus women are lopsided. Or something.
Hah, I knew that virgin detector was worthless.
Now I just have a charred spot on my desk from where it was.
Oddly, the clue detector didn't even register something was said.
At the museum where I volunteer, we have two skeletons, male and female. Many visitors are surprised to see that both have ten ribs and two floating ribs. Not all of those taken by surprise are homeschooled, so I think this may be a widespread urban legend. The differences are: the male has a longer femur and rib cage; the male's chin is squareish, the female's is round; the male's forehead slopes back, the femal's goes straight up, and the male has more of a brow ridge (such as it is in our species, you may have noticed males and females have very differentlty shaped faces); the male's shoulders are more square, on the female, they slope down. However, both have the same number of ribs, and both have 206 bones.
Thank you for your interesting report of your unexpected experimental results.
I have the same number of ribs as the menfolk. I've studied the anatomy charts and I've also counted my ribs and the menfolk's at work (hey, not my fault, they walk around with no shirts on after the day's done).
Same number.
Thanks for playing.
I used to think there was one fewer rib in men, because that's what the pastor said. Then I opened a medical book when I was about seven. Yeah...and there's no Easter Bunny either.
Putting away those childish things is a pisser.
First off, man isn't "lop sided"; we have 12 pairs of ribs right? In the Bible, Adam gave up one of his pairs of ribs to make Eve, meaning Adam had 13 rib pairs to begin with, 12.5 pairs...otherwise, his torso would have looked REALLY odd, and seeing he is made in the image of God, we can't have that.
For the male/female skeletons, im gonna say the right one is female. It looks like it has a larger pelvis, but the view on the right one is at an angle, so i cant tell.
Anyway, you know you fail when one of your quotes is anything like one of carico's quotes
"have you ever felt a girls rib cage?

HUMAN ANATOMY DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY!
And seeing as we're all descended from a man who was made from dirt, then we're all silicon-based lifeforms, amirite? Biology not on the hoemskuling curriculum, I'm guessing...?
When I'm touching a girl her ribcage is just about the last part of her anatomy that I'm thinking about, but even so I know you're talking complete crap.
Even from a Biblical standpoint you've got it back to front. Turning bullshit into even bigger bullshit is a popular fundie trick, and this is a pretty good example. However, from an anatomical point of view you'd be no further away from the truth if you told me that all girls have three ears.
"have you ever felt a girls rib cage?"
Yes.
"she has one more rib on one side than the other..."
I didn't notice, I was too busy, er, concentrating on other aspects of her physicality.
If JesusFreak is a guy, he's an idiot.
If JesusFreak is a girl, she's a special kind of idiot.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
