ninevirtuesI have the bone box.
Specifically, I have a box of bones that purportedly contains a complete replica human skeleton, which my dissection group gets to check out and take home so we can get very cozy with exactly what bones look like and which ones go where and how they fit together. (It's very cool to be able to play with a loose skeleton. All the ones in class are wired together, so you can't do that.)
Unfortunately, when I cracked the bone box this morning (at 4 AM west coast time, 7 AM my time.... for our guests at home, yes, I get a big kick out of causing mayhem while you are still sleeping.... anyway, when I cracked the bone box, I found a skull, two shoulder blades, lots of vertebrae (but not quite enough), two iliums (pieces of the pelvis), a sacrum (another one of those pieces of the pelvis), two kneecaps, a bunch of long bones I've not counted yet.... and one hand. The other hand, and both feet, were conspicuously mising.
Sigh. Did I mention that my group is responsible for this $500 bone box?
In other news.... we're all starting to get the deer-in-headlights look. There's a lot to learn, did I mention that?
