Unless you're King Tut. In that case, you'd be missing part of you ribcage and your breastbone. I found this out at the Tutankhamen Exhibit at the Franklin Institute in Philly.
We took a bus trip, leaving Jackpot with Beth's nephew for the day. First stop, the exhibit. There was an iMax presentation first (and you've never seen a 3,000 year old dead person until you've seen them as if they were as big as a house). Then to the exhibit (no cameras allowed) and to the gift shop (cameras allowed)...
Then around the city on something called a duckboat. It's weird for me, being English by birth... everyone talk about the Revolutionary War over here as if it was on a scale of the World Wars, or some other wars the Empire was involved in. In history, we dealt with it like this: America gained Independence, and we've been friends ever since (pass the Heinz ketchup). Nothing about political dissenters dying of dysentry or various fevers in prison. Here's the Betsy Ross House.
She was the one that sewed the Stars and Stripes onto the flag. I never knew this until the tour, but she didn't actually design the thing ...that particular distinction goes to Francis Hopkinson. Or rather, he was the one that tried to get paid for designing the flag.
You may be thinging "why was it called a duckboat?"
It went in the water. We got a tour of the city by land and by water. Pretty nifty vehicles. Originally named the DUKW, they were originally designed for transporting goods and troops over land and water and for use approaching and crossing beaches in amphibious attacks. The designation as a DUKW is not a military pun - the name comes from the terminology used for military vehicles in World War II; the D indicates a vehicle designed in 1942, the U meant "utility (amphibious)", the K indicated all-wheel drive and the W indicated two powered rear axles. Another piece of history for the day.
During the day, I felt a 'crick' in my mouth as I was chewing gum. I went to the dentist, he took an x-ray, and one of my molars had split right down the middle. It was only the filling on top that was stopping it from completely coming apart, and the x-ray showed infection under the tooth. So I had to have it taken out (and I was awake throughout). It only shows if I pull my lip aside, but I can feel it with my tongue. Weird. I'll have a cosmetic tooth put in its place in good time.
