Saber-toothed rats would be cool.

There’s nothing sadder than a toothless mouse gumming a piece of stale cheese!

Will it work on replacing my hair?

How long until some gangster-rapper show off his flourescent ‘grill’...

Glow in the dark hairs...now that’s not a pretty picture.

I'm sure many of the same principles apply.

I'm sort of ok with thinning old guy hair though, one less thing to be botherin' about.

I remember asking my Grandfather about things like that (gettin' old and things that happen) and being puzzled how he would just shrug up an' say "..it's not so bad."

Now I understand.

Interesting research. Speaking of teeth, I wonder where I left mine last night.

If you're sure you want a head full of teeth.
