Where is the smallest bone in the body?

Hint: Many people consider it an erogenous zone (I do; I love to get/give some tongue action there - it can take me over the edge if applied at the right time), but its normal function is not as a sex organ.

Bonus points if you can name the bone.

I knew it was largest - but I thought that was by size - I guess it would be by weight too.

If it's an internal organ by weight, I think it's the liver.

If it's an organ period, then I'm with Laurel. The skin is the body's largest organ. And I remember hearing some reports of people who were morbidly obese losing 100-300 pounds and subsequently "donating" something like 100 pounds of skin for use as skin grafts for those needing such treatment.

If you going strictly for size on an internal organ, the small intestine is probably it but the weight (when empty, i. e., its own weight only) is minor.
