I was told in Sunday school that males had one rib less than females and the reason was that Eve was made from Adam's rib.
Before ultrasound was able to determine sex of a fetus, I suggested to my parents that an x-ray could be taken of the fetus and count the ribs. Naturally they thought that was funny and so I never forgot the humiliation.
