What is so wise about wisdom teeth? They're huge, obnoxious teeth which serve no practical purpose. They push their way in then slowly decay and interfere with the innocent teeth. This morning I went to get them cut out at the dentist in Siam Square. I sat down, had my teeth pulled, and was out the door in less than 30 minutes. All with a bill of 1,500 ฿.
It doesn't hurt much but the blood that keeps coming out is a bit annoying. I have to bite down on a swab which means swallowing the blood is difficult. Much like taking a large sip of water, clenching your teeth, opening you lips, and trying not to spill any water. Would be nice if the blood slows down a bit...
Next week I get two more of these useless things removed.
I've yet to buy a video cable for my new (free) computer. Hopefully I'll be able to do that tomorrow.
I need to start thinking about this presentation due Monday. Next week is our last week of school.

Wisdom teeth--why do we grow teeth we don't even have room for? My theory is that for most of our evolutionary history, people would have lost enough teeth to leave room for more by the time they reach that age. Otherwise I can't imagine the genes for wisdom teeth persisting in the genome. If prehistoric people had no room for the teeth, they would have had no way to remove them, and many would have starved due to the problems caused by them.
