Wed, 22 May 2013 23:10:11 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Joh Neighbour http://www.thehistoryblog.com/archives/22944/comment-page-1#comment-661117 Joh Neighbour Sat, 26 Jan 2013 19:06:48 +0000 http://www.thehistoryblog.com/?p=22944#comment-661117 Touché! I was feeling crotchety and pedantic, probably just having read the comments about this news in the Daily Mail - the Brit newspaper for single-celled creatures. Anything in the Daily Mail has to be confirmed before being dismissed out of hand. Mind you, I wouldn't have researched it if I hadn't read a work of fiction describing this weird piece of pathology the day before. I have no idea how it escaped my notice before! And I admit thinking 'ew!' 'cool!' and - well, other expressions not to be used in polite company. Touché!

I imagine even the researchers had a moment or two along those lines when they realized there were teeth in there.
