You know we don't count Gary. Not after last time.
On average, humans have less than two feet
Edit: oh so I just barged in here and said the basically same thing the other guy said. Sorry
Sigh... Have my vote
Tangentially related. If you have two legs, you have slightly more than the average number of legs people have.
In other words, most people have an above-average number of legs.
🤯
Also, the average human has less than one testicle
A slightly related, but true, biology fact is that all mammals (with the exception of sloths and manatees) have seven neck vertebrae. So, humans and giraffes actually have the same number of bones in their necks.
Yeah, I've heard that--in fact, I made the joke largely because I expect lots of people to mentally start saying, "well actually..." before getting to the punchline.
Having seen a giraffe use its neck as a whip, yeah, it would make some sense on the surface. Pretty flexible and strong, as if their massive kicks weren't already enough of a deterrent.
Still, neatto. A joke my wife would definitely glare at.
I think I have one that's continually headbutting my spine.
