The Knee Bone’s Connected to the Queen of Spades

It’s a question that has plagued mankind through the ages: Do I want to play poker, or do I want to memorize the bones in the human body?

Thankfully, we no longer have to choose, because each one of these Human Skeleton Playing Cards by Synheme features the name and picture of a different bone. And in the international spirit, each bone is labeled in English, Spanish, and French. Now the only question on everyone’s mind is, “Do you have the cervical vertabra?” The answer: Go Fish.

It only makes sense that these cards were made in Canada, where Old Maid is a national obsession and there are more osteopaths per capita than anywhere outside of the European Union. . . except that this sentence makes very little sense at all, and is mostly false. But they really are made in Canada. For reals.

By Synheme. $5.98 + shipping (free shipping eligible) from Amazon.com. Perfect for science enthusiasts, card players, and magicians. And skeletons. No, really, could you imagine a group of skeletons playing Texas Hold ‘Em with this deck, and one of them shouts out, “I know that scapula! That’s Marty!”
