	Should probably accept "breastbone" for sternum.

	@trick39berry Epidermis is the outermost and thinnest layer of skin. All three layers contribute to the size of the organ.

	I would never have guessed the spleen is larger than the stomach.

	PhiloKGB:	Dec 8th, 2010 at 20:54 GMT		12 points
	I'm not sure the spleen is larger; the stomach probably has a bigger maximum volume. The spleen, however, is much denser, and therefore heavier, than the hollow stomach.

	I don't know if I'll ever learn to think of skin as an organ, as much as I understand it's true.

	I always guess skin first! It has won me trivia games time and time again.

	I think the people who get 4 answers on this have the brain a bit lower on the list...

	Perhaps accept hip for hipbone?

	NY_MOB:	Dec 9th, 2010 at 02:42 GMT		4 points
	So I'm sitting here stuffing my face while I take the quiz and I get all the organs except stomach - d'oh!

	For some reason it blows my mine that several of the ribs are longer than the clavicles. I'm not sure why I find that so crazy, but I do.

	NY_MOB:	Dec 9th, 2010 at 03:42 GMT		1 point
	I'm surprised the scapula isn't larger than a big rib. By bigger do we mean longer? Also, I'm glad you accepted pelvis for hip because I'm not familiar with "Innominate bone".

	Jerdoggiedog:	Dec 9th, 2010 at 03:49 GMT		12 points
	why is ilium not accepted for hipbone but pelvis is?

	hawksdd:	Dec 9th, 2010 at 04:15 GMT		2 points
	Got them all except hipbone, but I tried hip with about 2 seconds left.

	dpark:	Dec 9th, 2010 at 04:19 GMT		0 points
	I feel really stupid for getting all of the organs except the heart...

	shibbyhibby:	Dec 9th, 2010 at 06:06 GMT		2 points
	Also am surprised scapula isn't bigger than the sternum. Would like to see the measurements on that.

	Maybe I'm wrong, but shouldn't you accept colon for the large intestine?

	hellofromUK:	Dec 9th, 2010 at 14:08 GMT		12 points
	You've worded the quiz completely wrong. The answers are for the LONGEST bones in the body. You've written BIGGEST, which is different from length. Your link has also jumped between LONGEST and LARGEST, whilst only quoting length, and therefore compounding the problem. That's why people are complaining that the scapula should be on there, because whilst it is shorter than, say, the fibula, it is definitely both larger and bigger.

	moegoldberg:	Dec 9th, 2010 at 14:28 GMT		2 points
	@sbelkoski - yes colon should definitely be accepted for large intestine.

	@ The Colon: The Colon is only part of the large intestine. The large intestine also includes the cecum, appendix and other components that I will leave you to ponder.@ Muscle: Muscle is considered a tissue, which is part of an organ

	Tom_Tildrum:	Dec 9th, 2010 at 17:23 GMT		15 points
	You should include a snarky bonus response for "penis." I'll bet half of the people playing the game tried it. :-)

	lexmith:	Dec 9th, 2010 at 17:39 GMT		5 points
	the colon is only part of the large intestine, but there is a good case to be made for the colon being the organ and the large intestine a collection of organs

	Why does 'rib' get you both 7th and 8th rib, but 'intestine' gets you neither?

	sporcling123:	Dec 9th, 2010 at 23:30 GMT		1 point
	Organs were much easier than bones. Great quiz nonetheless.

	julia_christine:	Dec 12th, 2010 at 17:15 GMT		5 points
	illium should be accepted for hip bone. good quiz though

	MMAFREAK123:	Dec 13th, 2010 at 05:51 GMT		-2 points
	I missed spleen.... I got all of them except for spleen...

	jaypunkrawk:	Dec 14th, 2010 at 15:39 GMT		2 points
	Dang...I said "kidneys" and it didn't catch the singular... Apparently I type too fast.
