Some few months back I was chewing on a taco when a big ole molar broke in half. It was the damndest thing and totally unexpected. I reached in and took out the broken hunk, felt the molar with my tongue and nearly cut myself on a sharp edge. I went to the toolbox, pulled out a small flat file and filed away. After about five or so minutes, I felt the edge, and it was sufficiently honed down so as not to be a bother. The only problem is that I can no longer chew gum, which I hugely enjoy. At the moment and for some moments past, monetary concerns have precluded a short visit to the dentist fellow.</p> In response to the various tooth posters, here’s a giggle.

Additionally, the EU thought they were going to full renewable energy by 2021 and now it will be by 2015 due to the benefit of the economic growth in renewable energy. It was even suggested that 2012 could be possible.

And we stand way behind the curve, even in r&d for renewable resources.
