Are your ears part of your face?

[denny@boing.world]

@davidnjoku Apparently so!

@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.

@dahukanna Apparently not

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

@davidnjoku Haha, funniest and most random post ever!

[davidnjoku@mastodon.world]

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

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

My legs do not fart

*edit* daft stuff you learn playing D&D

[davidnjoku@mastodon.world]

@WiteWulf Your legs don't fart? Don't know if you've got kids, but if you do, I bet they'd say otherwise!

[witewulf@cyberplace.social]

@davidnjoku just the one, and he’s never brought it up (so far)

[oneinterestingfact@mastodon.ie]

@davidnjoku
Anatomically it’s more part of the back, if my physio is right.

[mamalake@beige.party]

@davidnjoku muscularly, several of the layers of muscles attach to the pelvis from the legs, so parts of your bum are also a part of your legs
