Are your ears part of your face?

@davidnjoku

ears do convey expression and do interact with the facial/vocal muscles, so yes. Ears are absolutely part of the face.

@davidnjoku I went with no, becasue while I"m comfortable with my cauliflower ears, I'm not sure I'd feel as good about having cauliflower face.

@davidnjoku

Forehead, temples, cheeks, jaw - the outer edges?

Top of head, hmm?, ears, side of neck, under-jaw, throat - next to the human face?

@davidnjoku glad we settled that!

Is your bum part of your legs?

[menneisyytesi@eliitin-some.fi]

@davidnjoku no, they are just good friends

[denny@boing.world]

@davidnjoku Having had relatively extensive reconstructive surgery on my right leg after a car nearly killed me, I can answer this one! The answer is 'no', because medically-speaking your leg is only the bit from the knee down.

It makes slightly more sense if you think about animal legs and how they're articulated.

@davidnjoku

Having raised three girls I have explained there's an area where the leg ends and the ass begins and if we have to debate which it is the skirt is TOO SHORT.

@grumpydad @davidnjoku
Right! It depends on how low it hangs

[davidnjoku@mastodon.world]

@denny From the knee down?! 🤯

[denny@boing.world]

@davidnjoku Apparently so!

[dahukanna@mastodon.social]

@denny @davidnjoku
That only accounts for the “knee joint + tibia + fibula”. What about the “femur” thigh bone, isn’t that part of the leg?

[dahukanna@mastodon.social]

@davidnjoku answered yes.
Anatomically, your “bum” is 2 sets of major muscles attaching your “pelvis” hip bone to the upper part of your “femur” thigh bone. While it is not part of the skeleton, without it we would _not_ be able to walk/run/climb/etc.

[denny@boing.world]

@dahukanna Apparently not

[davidnjoku@mastodon.world]

@dahukanna I think yes it correct answer too. But we're in the minority

[arianexmusic@mastodon.social]

@davidnjoku Haha, funniest and most random post ever!

[davidnjoku@mastodon.world]

@arianexmusic Nothing but the biggest science questions of the day with me

[witewulf@cyberplace.social]

@davidnjoku legs are from the knees down. Knees up is torso. Bum is definitely not part of your legs.

My legs do not fart
