Hah! I love this kind of stuff

REPORT: Average human has less than two arms

The average human has approximately one testicle and one boob.

You could also say that the most humans have an above-average number of arms

well, sure, after sharkweek!

There are no humans with three or more arms. Most humans have two arms. A few humans have one or zero arms. Thus, the mean/average number of arms should be between 1.9 and 2.0 but surely less then two.

(The median number of arms is two though)

first, I am aware of the stats so the lecture was a waste.

second, the posters name was sharkweek, if you went in the water during sharkweek you probably wouldn't have two arms, this is what is known as a joke based on an eponysterical name.

third, you are also incorrect in your statement that there are no humans with 3 arms https://www.google.com/search?q=baby+born+with+three+arms

You are right. I was wrong. You win this debate.

There are no humans with three or more arms

Never say never:

Never say never:

Especially on the internet

Prove it.

Average human has more than 1 skeleton!

(pregnancy)

Some people own skeletons.

The extra ones are usually kept in the closet, I believe.

All own at least one. Some, two.
