    Ok, you guys.

    Taking someone's advice here on the forum, I contorted myself last night to measure my stiz bones. Other than feeling like I was in a bad porn movie, I got a measurement of 850 mm! Is this even possible? And let's just say this isn't some kind of operator error- does anyone make a seat to hold those up?
    What's going on with that? Should I be in a circus side-show? I look normal...
    Lookit, grasshopper....

    definitely not. you could prolly give birth to a baby giraffe if that was so. Try again.
    It's a little secret you didn't know about us women. We're all closet Visigoths.

    *chuckles at AR's giraffe remark*

    No, I don't think that 850mm is possible. How did you go about measuring?

    Are you sure that's what the tape measure/ruler said? 850mm is like three quarters of a yard -- never mind giving birth to a giraffe, an elephant baby would likely pass through that!!!

    I had to look it up, an elephant's pelvic canal is more in the range of 400-500 mm.
