Today we are going to consider the humble fibula, the smallish bone in your lower leg that acts as diminutive sidekick to the big-brother tibia. If you are like I was three months ago, putting much thought into the fibula and how it is doing down there doesn't take up a lot of your time.
But, as Thomas Jefferson allegedly said, if you want to have something you've never had, you must do something you've never done. Jeffersonian scholars, a notably sniffy bunch, don't embrace the attribution, but when you're trying to sell readers on a fibula column, anything is fair game.
