  • World War I ended at precisely eleven o’clock on the eleventh day of the eleventh month of the year 1918.
  • Babies have more bones in their bodies than adults. As the babies grow older, some bones eventually fuse together (like in the skull), resulting in fewer bones as an adult.
  • An infant human has about 300 bones, some of which fuse together as the youngster grows up. An adult human’s body typically contains 206 bones.
