Most people have an above-average number of legs.
- sdeframond 2y agoWhat's the average number of legs for humans ?
- cutemonster 2y agoA bit less than two
- sdeframond 2y agoWhat about Frank Lentini ? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Lentini https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Lentini
- nolamark 2y agoSeems like he has more than the average number of legs as well. The fact that he has a wiki page, and that many folks with born without or who have lost legs (~500,000/year Americans experience limb loss or are born with a limb difference https://amputee-coalition.org/resources/limb-loss-statistics/ https://amputee-coalition.org/resources/limb-loss-statistics...) do not, suggest that the number of people with < 2 is far greater than the number of people with > 2. So the average is still less than 2. For better or worse, number of legs (or number of arms) is canonical example people use to demonstrate the statistical principal a significant majority of a population can be above average of some metric.
- cutemonster 2y agoHe must have been an amazing person. I imagine one easily gets bullied, when looking that different. But, from Wikipedia: > Lentini was so respected among his peers that he was often called "The King".
