Do you have a wonder on wonderopolis or can you because I am going to vacation on Friday so can you do it on Thursday? Wonderopolis Mar 25, Landon Mar 8, Yes everybody does. They call it a funny bone because after you hit it and it really hurts it tingles and it feels funny. It's happened to me a ton of times.

Wonderopolis Mar 8, Yes, everybody has a funny bone. I really do have a funny bone. Wonderopolis Mar 2, Where do you come up with all these great ideas? Wonderopolis Feb 15, Why is it called a funny bone? It's not even funny. I always thought it was a nerve not called "funny bone. You guys make good videos to watch in school, then learn about it. Wonderopolis Feb 12, Wonderopolis Feb 11, Thanks so much for leaving us this great comment today!

Caleb D Feb 10, I think tomorrow's wonder of the day is about skating. I wonder who invented skateboards. Mrs D's Year 6 Class Feb 10, Hi there, wonderopolis!! I stumbled across this website and think it's just fantastic!!

It's such a fantastic site and it's very impressive that you are able to reply to every post!! My kids are going to LOVE this!! THAT was sooooooooooo cute Bones is really fun to play and that is a good game to have on wonderopolis. Anna Feb 9, Whenever I hit my "funny bone" on something, I laugh. Feb 9, I'm wondering how many bones you have in your body?

Because I don't know how many bones are in your body. Could you do a wonder on Legos and who invented them? Keep doing what you are doing. Glenise Feb 9, I've hit my funny bone already, it was not nice, nothing funny about it at all. I did not know that it was a nerve, though, but now I understand why it feels that way.

It sure feels painfully funny. Thank you, wonderopolis. Joaquin Jimenez Feb 8, Hey Guys! It's Joaquin! Bones And We Won! Until Then Kim and Lauren Feb 8, Hi, Wonderopolis!

We did not know that your funny bone is really a nerve! It makes your hand go up and down when you hit the front of your elbow.

We did not know that at all! Thank you for the wonderful Wonder!!!!!!! Bye, Wonderopolis. Tiffaniey Feb 8, Will tomorrow's wonder be about skating? Because my class is going on a skating field trip tomorrow. Feb 8, I learned that your funny bone goes from your elbow to your shoulder. Kendall Nicole Feb 8, Thanks for the awesome comment that you left me. Brandon Feb 8, Brasdis told me my wonder was up here, but I wanted to check and see for myself.

Thanks for wondering with me and letting me know what a funny bone is all about. Sarah Feb 8, Dear Wonderopolis, I love your site. A kid in our class was wondering the same thing. We're so happy to hear that you love visiting Wonderopolis, Sarah! That makes our day! The video was really good, but I don't have a funny bone and not everybody has a funny bone.

Paige Feb 8, Dear Wonderopolis, Cool wonder! You don't have a funny bone when you are younger but as you get older it gets bigger. And when you hit it on something, it hurts or vibrates. It feels weird. I think tomorrow's wonder is about bugs. Wonderopolis, do you think that if you hit a funny bone it will hurt? Well, I think it will. Funny bones do not feel funny to me. I hope you like my comment. It does tickle when you hit your funny bone.

It tickles really bad that I want to cry. I want to be in the wonderoplis crew. I would scream loud if I was. Wonderoplis is so cool, I want to make a wonder to show everyone in my school, but it would be a funny one that my whole school and my classmates would laugh very loudly. I've hit my funny bone before, it didn't feel good. I don't know why they call it a funny bone if it's not funny, and it's not a bone I hate when I hit my funny bone.

You don't even laugh. It turns out that your funny bone isn't a bone. It's actually a nerve — one that starts in your spine and travels from your neck, through your elbow and to your fingers your pinky and ring fingers, to be exact. It's called the ulnar nerve. As one of the three primary nerves in your arm, the main role of your ulnar nerve is to provide sensation in these fingertips, as well as help the muscles in your hand coordinate fine movement and the muscles in your forearm control your grip.

Along its journey from your spine to your fingers, your ulnar nerve is pretty well protected by muscle, fat and bone. But there's one spot at your elbow where this nerve is unusually exposed, and that spot is called your funny bone.

At this point in your arm, your ulnar nerve passes through your cubital tunnel, which runs underneath the little bony bump called the medial epicondyle on the inside of the back of your elbow. Feel around, you can probably find it. It's at this spot that your ulnar nerve is particularly vulnerable, especially when your elbow is and bent and the nerve is protected by only a small layer of skin.
