    As long as they're gonna grow an extra tooth in its mouth, why not grow a row of teeth along its back, so it would look like a little mousey stegosaurus? Even if you're a mouse, you know the difference between toothy and badass.

    So someone with really crooked teeth, instead of wearing braces for years, could just knock their teeth out and have new, straight, green ones grow back in two months? :D

    You're wrong Rosa. Some of just want a regular mouth of teeth so we can feel normal when we smile and don't have to worry what a girl thinks when she kisses you and feels/tastes a hunk of plastic

    the main question that arises after hearing about something like this is about the real life advantages. from what i see, the main advantages in using something like this over dentures would be the fact that it would be a real tooth, cleaning would be easier, and the teeth wont fall out.
    but on the downside, the tooth/teeth wont be as sterile as a denture, hopefully, the embryo that these cells are being taken from doesn't suffer from the process, and with dentures being obsolete, we will be deprived of the funny videos of people losing their dentures while eating...

    What a heartwarming story! In these days where all we ever hear about is how laboratories torture and maim animals in the name of science, here they instead went out of their way to find some poor little mouse with a missing molar and then lent him a comforting, helping hand. Way to go, science!

    Kinda brings a tear to my eye.

    *sniff*

    Of course, how they ever noticed this little guy was missing a rear tooth in the first place is kinda odd...

    @Name of Numbers: No. I'm sure they wouldn't do that. I mean, who could be that cruel?

    No, they no doubt spent many weeks in open casting calls across the country, searching for that one lucky mouse with a missing tooth.

    Neat, though I've still yet to see a single dentist with a dental laser yet, so I expect this will come out when I hit retirement age...


    On an unrelated note, I played with a "plasma cutter" around 10 years ago - it seemed to be a little bit like an arc welder, but instead of melting its own electrode, it had a reusable tip that blew filtered shop air through it to clear molten metal from the cutting site. It was incredibly easy to use - kind of like a felt marker, and about as accurate, but instead of simply marking, it would leave a clean 1-2mm channel cut out of sheet metal. Fun stuff! I can't vouch if it truly generated plasma or not though.

    Although shooting a stream of plasma into your mouth sounds painful...


    Well, if we compare it to what a pool toy can do and 5 hours in the ER, I think I'll take the blowtorch. Of course, there's two less teeth for me to worry about now...

    "...perhaps, in the future, zapping away diseases on your genitals?"


    Making this technology all namby-pamby harmless would kinda change the dramatic impact of this scene:


    Bond: Do you expect me to talk?


    Goldfinger: No, Mr. Bond. I expect you to get your genitals cleaned.

    Is this like training wheels or something? I can think of 2 reasons why this would be needed: 1-Overly blessed with penis (yeah, keep thinking that one) or 2-she doesnt really want to be doing it, so she is finding ways to make you not want her to do it any more.
