WET. BONES.
@Jen_Lee that's why the archeology test if it's a bone or a rock is to lick it because bones are porous and stick to your tongue

@chikadee wait wait wait WAIT.

WAIT.

what?

@Jen_Lee yeah it's 100% taught and normal practice to test if it's a bone or a rock to see if it sticks to your tongue

@chikadee I never knew! That’s fascinating.

Also, omg there are SO many bone-licking jokes I am not making right now.

@Jen_Lee
I remember seeing something about how our bones are covered in something that keeps them dry, and I'm not sure if that's better or worse.
