We have four! This is what Wikepeidia says:
A limb (from the Old English lim) is a jointed appendage of the human or animal body; a large or main branch of a tree; a representative, branch or member of a group or organization.
Most animals use limbs for locomotion, such as walking, running, or climbing. Some animals can use their front limbs (or upper limbs in humans) to carry and manipulate objects. Some animals can also use hind limbs for manipulation.
In the human body, the upper and lower limbs are commonly called the arms and the legs. Human legs and feet are specialised for two-legged locomotion -- most other mammals walk and run on all four limbs. Human arms are weaker, but very mobile allowing us to reach at a wide range of distances and angles, and end in specialised hands capable of grasping and fine manipulation of objects.

Definition of Limb: one of the jointed appendages of an animal used for locomotion or grasping: arm; leg; wing; flipper
Therefore we have 2 arms and 2 legs = 4 limbs.

Two types of limbs are found in the human body; Fore limbs and Hind limbs.

Well I dont consider this to be a trick question but If you look at how many babies are born deformed you could hazard a guess and say between 0-4 so thats what im guessing..
The usual is 4 but it could go either way

I am a human body and I have an arm growing out of the top of my head.
It's an anomaly I will admit,but if it doesn't agree with what I do it starts to choke me.
Luckily my other two arms are stronger than it so I can pull it off,so i"m still around.
Five!
