Denmark Finds 23-Centimeter Shark Vertebra — My Vertebrae Are at Least 31, Doctors Say

Folks, scientists in Denmark dug up a 23-centimeter shark backbone bone and everybody's clapping. Meanwhile my own spine is bigger, longer, and carries more electricity to my feet than any shark ever did. Believe me.

So Denmark — beautiful country, tiny — dug up a 23-centimeter vertebra from some prehistoric shark in a clay pit. Big deal. Mine are 31. Minimum. Doctors told me, three of them, all crying.

People don't understand vertebrae. I'll explain. Vertebrae are the little tubes that carry the electricity from your brain down to your feet. That's why when your foot falls asleep, it's a vertebra problem, 88 percent of the time. Nobody tells you this. Greta Thunberg won't tell you this. She's been hiding it for years.

The Danish scientists measured their bone with a ruler. A RULER. I had mine measured by satellite, twice, on a Tuesday. Came back 31.4 centimeters per bone, and I've got roughly 200 of them, give or take a thousand.

Also sharks don't have bones. I read that somewhere. Sad situation for the shark.
