At work we somehow landed on the topic of how many holes a human has, which then evolved into a heated discussion on the classic question of how many holes does a straw have.

I think it’s two, but some people are convinced that it’s one, which I just don’t understand. What are your thoughts?

    It’s one, big long hole. If you drilled a hole through a board, do you say it’s two holes?

    Or it’s 0 holes, as it’s not cut out of something, but rather just formed that way meaning by strict dictionary definition, there are no “holes.”
