I have heard and witnessed believers making the most outrageously sounding declarations which do not appear in the Word, yet upon minimal study, they have been spot on in their own words.
No one is authorized to limit a person due to his or her vocabulary or manner of expressing himself if it coincides with understanding from the Word.
There is power in the Blood of the Lamb. There are demons and demonic notions straight out of hell, although I do not use the term.
When what is being stated is understood from a brother, it cannot be invalidated because the exact words do not appear in the Word. That would be tyranny.
I realize the OP is Biblical myths, however the subject should not be a tool to an end of stifling the family in Yeshua, Jesus.

Yes, I agree about the "rib."
In the light of present medical knowledge, the choice of a rib seems most appropriate. A rib that has been removed will grow again, replacing itself, as long as the periosteum (the membrane of connective tissue that covers the bone) is allowed to remain. Whether Jehovah God followed this procedure or not the record does not state; however, as man’s Creator, God was certainly aware of this unusual quality of the rib bones.

Matthew 3:4 Now John himself was clothed in camel’s hair, with a leather belt around his waist; and his food was locusts and wild honey.
The following is from the Contemporary English Version of the Word. Lev 11:20
The only winged insects you may eat are locusts, grasshoppers, and crickets. All other winged insects that crawl are too disgusting for you to eat.
As far as my study has shown, all other versions repeat the content above.
As for John eating locust, this was permitted according to the clean laws given for food consumption, however there is a very strong argument that John actually ate the pods of the algorrobo, a tree growing in many of the Meditarranean countries. I have eaten part of one, and it was not bad.
These pods are used for such diverse reasons as animal feed and chocolate substitute.
John could well have eaten either one of these. It is not far fetched at all.

Why did john the baptist eat locusts and wild hone
But it is okay to eat locust; at least it is better to eat that then scorpions.
Cabbage has been genetically altered using scorpion DNA to create scorpion venom so that they don't need insecticides.

tsela: rib, side
Original Word: צְלָעֹת
beam, board, chamber, corner, leaf, plank, rib, side chamber
Or (feminine) tsaltah {tsal-aw'}; from tsala'; a rib (as curved), literally (of the body) or figuratively (of a door, i.e. Leaf); hence, a side, literally (of a person) or figuratively (of an object or the sky, i.e. Quarter); architecturally, a (especially floor or ceiling) timber or plank (single or collective, i.e. A flooring) -- beam, board, chamber, corner, leaf, plank, rib, side (chamber).
it's a stretch, i know....but:
DNA curve
architecturally, a (especially floor or ceiling) timber or plank (single or collective, i.e. A flooring) - foundational?
who knows.
rib works for me.
