Hummingbirds within Apodiformes uniquely have a bilaterally paired oval bone, a sesamoid embedded in the caudolateral portion of the expanded, cruciate aponeurosis of insertion of m. depressor caudae. How many paired tendons are supported by this sesamoid bone? Answer with a number.
That reads like the sort of thing Wolfram Alpha was designed to absolutely obliterate, if only the raw data representing each of those keywords had been loaded in.
