I want to know how they knew it was gum?

Personally I know gum can be a very creative art media, put in the right hands mouth.

It wasn’t mine!

[SunkenCiv]

Chew sure about that? ;’)

I figured (before I read the article) that it had been found stuck to the bottom of some PreColumbian desk or nightstand. ;’)

All I know is chewing on gum balls will denture teeth for sure. ;-P

My neice used to put her used gum behind her ear. Of course, she was only three at the time....;o]
