Project 365 Day 29 – Meet Billy Bones

January 29, 2011 by mumtoj

Meet Billy Bones!

J has been fascinated by the human body for about 2 years now and has various books explaining what each organ is, where it is in the body and what it does and so on. A few months ago he started collecting Billy Bones. Each week he gets another body piece and a booklet with various facts in, (J loves his fact books). J is always looking at Billy and then trying to work out where on his body are the bones and organs that Billy has. It’s proving to be quite expensive but he is learning something as he collects each piece/issue. I guess, long-term he’ll may be able to help J when/if he studies Human Biology and of course J loves him!

I think Billy Bones is very cool…… how many more boby parts are you to get?, does it include muscle and skin to finish him off ???

  Billy is very cool, (and educational too)
  
  We do get muscle I don’t think we get skin though, only a few more weeks to go.

Hey Jo
I’m from South Africa, and I am currently collecting Billy’s bones and organs. We’re only half way there so far I’ve seen on the UK eBay site that the next series covers his muscles. Is this true? I’ve also seen further issues numbering into the 70s, but I can’t figure out what they’re all about. Can you shed some light on the matter as I can’t find any info on the web. Kind regards
Gareth

  Hi Gareth, not sure about how many issues there are but I can tell you that we have the muscles but J doesn’t like to put them on Billy

Hey Jo. Thanks for the reply. We’re only on issue 16. Billy Bones costs a bomb here. About Au$11 per issue. Billy is currently armless and legless I’m not sure whether they’ll release the muscles issues in SA, but my bank account hopes not.
Congrats on your thumping victory over our useless Springboks today in Sydney.
FYI:My wife is a teacher in a remedial school here in Cape Town.
Have a good Sunday
