It's not real. The ulna (the bone of the forearm that connects with the humerus/upper arm) doesn't look like that. The proximal end (that connects to the upper arm) does not flare out like it does in the picture. In fact, that looks like someone took a defleshed lower leg and shopped it onto the arm, because that looks like a tibia.

Watch the video... it's real.
 
I'm totally putting this image on a test next semester. Extra credit: Using your knowledge of osteology, argue whether this internet image is fake or real.

I have some poison ivy on either of my arms from hiking in the woods last weekend. I think I'm going to have nightmares tonight of it festering and pustulating and gangrenating and falling off. Thanks, Internet.
 
I'm more intrigued than grossed out. That doesn't look real...

Compare body size to her forearm size. That size of a forearm belongs on someone weighing at least 200 pounds. My former fat (200lb-ish) best friend's arm wasn't that thick. Unless it's been filleted and hanging by the edges...

Hmmm? If you want pictures of flesh rotting off of skeletons, let me know. How about a boiling head in a pot? All in a day's work. 😉

Edit: I am not serious. I can't post such content online. 😛

damn.

And I thought my job 3 years ago, mostly consisting of poking around mouse vaginas, was bitching.

I was going to say the same thing, that looks way too big to be an arm on that size a person

He also thinks proper humans have been on earth twice as long as any credible source tells us. He may know his stuff but I have a hard time believing him anymore.

Where is the radius? Remember the fibula runs alongside the tibia like the radius runs alongside the ulna.

Good thing you're not one of my students, haha. The problem with playing expert on the internet and citing Wikipedia articles is that you occasionally run into someone who wrote the scientific paper that the Wikipedia article cites. 😛
