I always believed the story about Eve being made out of adams rib to be fact. but is it urban legend or not that men and women have diferent #'s of ribs?

Some ladies operate two ribs to look skiny.
However, when men and women born, at least on this century, they have the same number of ribs.
About the story, I really dont know if Adam had an additional rib. There is no way to know that.

Actually everyone can have a different number of ribs, by one or two. Men and woman can have the differences. Like my husband has 3 extra ribs and no tail bone. Alot of people don't have tail bones, and some people do. There are a few other oddities but I can't remeber them right off.

No. God took a rib from Adam and made Eve.
To this day all men have one less rib.

Same number. Ask any doctor. It is absolutely not true that men have one less.
