>Question 4 [February 1996]
>--------------------------
>
>   On February 22, 1996 you made some rather interesting comments on the

>
>   In reply to a poster who asked you how many bones there are in

>      "The skull, two in an adult, counting the jaw, discounting

>      Re: Dem bones, dem bones, dem dry bones;  June 16, 1996)
>
>   When questioned about the accuracy of your answer by a poster

>      "You are talking about the skull of a child before the
