The bones of the leg

The thing I learned today is that the main bones of the human leg are the femur (thigh bone), fibula (calf bone), and tibia (shin bone).  Of course there is also the patella, or kneecap.  Here is a mnemonic: associate females with thighs, fibbing with calves (about where they come from)?, and tipping with shin (hitting your shin on the tip of something).
