The femur is your T. rex bone and that's Rockhouse terminology. That's the biggest bruiser of a bone in your body and it has to be as we run, run, run across that savannah in Africa. Our arms chug along to help in some odd way but they don't do that much for running. That T. rex bone is the muscle boy.
The humerus is not quite a T. rex bone on the top half but maybe it was beefier when we spent more time on all fours. That one is difficult to break as well but I did it.
(takes a humble bow)
Breaking that femur takes a bone-breaking master and, yep, a friend of mine did it but I was chicken to ask what horrible force it took. She has one hell of an impressive scar from it but you've seen with those dermos ... they make the scars almost disappear with that special suturing. She will probably be ok with that, I guess, but I really don't think I'm getting the value for my bone-breaking dollar if I don't get some kind of Rambo scar out of it.
Ed: you have to suture it yourself for scars like that
Well, there are some limits to how badly I want one.
Kids often break their forearms or lower legs but they get two parts so maybe it's the smaller fibula / ulna part which breaks since the tibia is almost as beefy as the femur.
