Is it the man - or woman - who performs the 'evil belly laughs' when a person is told they have to wait another three hours?

I think I've been on the table way to many times :/ A little generous Paul but my thanks.

Q. Why do we have more bones at birth than later in life ?

Because not all of them have fused together yet (i.e the skull)? I think that's the reason that, when babies are born, their heads are a bit squashed.

Correct.

FYI babes born "via the garage doors" tend to have a squished head. Those born "via the sun roof" tend to have rounder heads. The spaces in the head are called fontanel's (apologies if I spelt it wrong) For the new parents out there. A small tip is when the soft spot is "sucking" or concave then your ickle one is dehydrated.

The skull (22 fused bones)
The coccyx (4 fused bones)
The sacrum (5 fused bones)

Probably a few more but that is about the extent of my general knowledge on the skeleton :)

Hooray! :D

OK:

This is not my image. I found it online a while ago, and it was made by a guy called Stephen Wildish. OK, here's the question:

Apparently not!

With the increasing trend for multi-part questions - 16 in the current one- could things not be moderated by asking for say ten out of sixteen or five out of six and so on?

Just a thought.

Even better let's stick to single part questions.

A Sovereign without a King
A Pony without a house
A Ton without its kilos
A Score without a goal

Are you including the epic world record breaking 102hr game with 1,635 goals scored ?

Hmmm. Anyway. Not Luke Newman. Ha ha. It was in a regularish game of professional football following the rules of the competition. Not a 102 hour record breaking attempt. Ha ha.

Did it take place somewhere near the International Date Line.

I like your thinking but no. :D

Just to clarify further, it isn't a trick question and it was in a professional club football competition. The goals were scored on different days in the country the game was played in, obviously not in the country you may have been watching in. Scored by a legendary footballer.

Legendary footballer may have been an exaggeration. It was his last game for his club oddly enough.
