Re: Have you had your wisdom teeth out yet?
I didn't even know people had their wisdom teeth removed. I was under the impression that only a small minority of people even have them, and that anecdotally you only get them if you are intelligent, but I don't know if there is any evidence for that. I suspect it's a common myth passed down from dailogues like this:
A: I have 4 more teeth than you.
B: What? Why? I want more teeth. Why do you have them?
A: Because I'm special.
I had mine come through when I was 13-14. My dentist told me that I was the youngest person she'd ever heard of to have them fully grown. I didn't even notice them until she pointed them out, as they have never caused me any discomfort whatsoever.
Obviously this is a bit of a brag, although they don't really do much. I can't even put them on my CV or something. Well I could, but that would look pretty pathetic/desperate. Sorry about all your episodes of intense pain. UL WP GG etc.
