Old falsies
A 200-year-old pair of French false teeth are going on display for the first time at the British Museum.From the BBC, which also notes:The 18th century teeth, which belonged to the Archbishop of Narbonne, who died in 1806, were found in his coffin after an archaeologists' dig in London. . .
The porcelain dentures, which were still sitting in Arthur Richard Dillon's mouth, feature gold springs.
The teeth are being put on display from Friday to coincide with World Smile Day.

That's gross.
I wouldn't want my teeth put on display after they dug me up 200 years later.
Gold hinges or not. Nasty.
Uncool.
