Who comes up with these questions?

And the correct answer is they aren't born with kneecaps... however they are.

There's a condition, Nail-Patella syndrome (NPS), which is a rare genetic disorder that causes abnormalities of bone, joints, fingernails and kidneys. NPS is commonly characterized by absent or under-developed kneecaps and thumbnails. It is estimated to occur in one in 50,000 newborns.

I wonder what type of response I will get from them?

Hillbilly Housewife replied:
Oh they DO have kneecaps. Most people don't htink so, but they do. They're just made of cartilage and only ossify around the age of 3 or so.

Technically, though, the knee cap hasn't formed yet, so they are born without.

I always thought they weren't born with knee caps as well. Learn something new every day.

Which did Leonardo Da Vinci invent a) the wheel or scissors

I swear, these people don't know ANYTHING.

Leonardo Da Vinci didn't invent EITHER of these.

Hillbilly Housewife replied: Most of it was luck on his part. He just usually claimed already existing yet non-patended stuff.
