I now have a new wisdom tooth, which has fully emerged.
The tooth looks a bit strange and it doesn't meet or grind
against any other molar. This means that it has no function
other than to occupy a certain amount of space at the
back of my mouth, making it the perfect candidate for
conversion
into a dental artwork.
There are two main possibilities:
1 Arrange for the
tooth to be carved like a piece of ivory into a form - I'm
thinking of a small head staring upwards with an open
mouth. or
2 Have a miniature tooth gnome made and
installed like an implant using the wisdom tooth as an
anchor plinth.

And put 'em in a teeth museum
And they charged the people
A dollar and a half to seem 'em ..."

So, [xen] has a wisdom tooth. There's irony. |

//no function other than to occupy a certain amount of space//
A built in tongue scraper. Oral gymnastics to do both sides though. Maybe the Gnome can hold a broom. |

Ha - I have 3 wisdom teeth. Two of them are on walk-about as part of an artwork I made some time ago. The remaining one that recently emerged is the subject of this idea. |

Proof that wisdom teeth do not live up to their name. |

Cool strange idea, I like that. |

Thanks, but the HB is not known for its sensible
ideas, and I certainly don't try to generate any. |

refers to Randy Waterhouse's wisdom extraction in the
Cryptonomicon....""Randy let me just show you how close the roots of
this one tooth are to the bundle of nerves that distinguishes you from
a marmoset" ... |

"The uppers were so deep in his skull that the roots were twined
around the parts of his brain responsible for perceiving the color blue
(on one side) and being able to suspend one's disbelief in bad
movies." |
