Answers:
Sometimes people are born with more or less of something than they should have!. I've seen babies born with extra fingers, and born without any fingers!. I'm not so sure about your friend's theory!. If you're really curious it might be worth looking into on one of the health sites like WebMD!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

So people have what are called sesmoid bones in their hand or feet!. These are usually on the palm side of your hand under your thumb or on the bottom of your feet under your great toe!. Some people have an extra lumbar vertebrae called a transitional vertebrae before the sacrum!. Heck some people are born with extra digits and this is called poly syndacytyl so naturally they have extra bones!. The 206 bones are just a figure for a normal person!.
