    That is a great Headline(?) of the post. Took me a minute to get.
    Also made me think, do especially tall people have more vertebrae?
    Do all humans have the exact same number of bones?
    why?
    that seems incredibly random.
    Not even one little extra bone?

      for the first part imma say no. giraffes actually have the same amount of neck bones as a human!

      for the second part imma say yes. because stuff like polydactyly exists and happens so
