Bones, of course. ---

I’m going to be the dissenting voice here and say Bruno Kirby, with a sharp stick. ---

One Bones has an Angel on her side. It’s tough to keep him dead, so I’d vote for her. ---

Of course there is also this [Bones](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0166110/). SkipMagic: I thought he was just an FBI agent on this time? I don’t watch the show, so I could be wrong. ---

But Spock has come back from the dead, too. That evens it up again. I vote for the one with breasts. ---

Could someone please tell those of us who are clueless exactly who the Boneses in question are? I presume that one of them is Dr. McCoy, of Star Trek (the version that didn’t need a colon and subtitle), and I gather that the other one has breasts, but that doesn’t level things down much. ---

One of them has Romulan Ale and Saurian Brandy. The other has breasts. Tough choice but I still say “Bones”. ---

According to Google ads, this is going to be a _chess_ match. Interesting. I wonder if Charlie X gets to be an advisor. ---

One Bones is a wannabe cop who feeds flesh-eating beatles on corpses of the recently dead, before turning said corpses over to their families for burial. (Fox TV show) The other has a pill that regrows kidneys. (Star Trek Voyage Home) He wins. ---

Okay, so Bones is a doctor, not a prizefighter. Still, he’s presumably had hand-to-hand combat training, and he’s held his own in many a fracas. He also knows how to wield a firearm. Bones is also a brilliant surgeon. He was (or will be?) perhaps the most highly accomplished medical officers in Starfleet. With just a few bag of thermoconcrete, he can practically cure a rainy day. Bones, on the other hand, has tantalizing eyes and porcelain skin. She’s smokingly hot. Tough call. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/bones-vs-bones/359192.md?page=2)
