Hey, b-news, congratulations on your emergence on this side of your surgical ordeal. I remain thankfully in possession of all my wisdom teeth, mostly because I have a big mouth, and frankly, I can use all the wisdom I can get. That, plus I have an unreasoning pathological distaste for dentists. Well, what dentists do. I think maybe I was scarred by exposure to Dustin Hoffman in _The Marathon Man_ when I was young and impressionable.

Now that I'm old and ossified, this passage from Neal Stephenson's _Cryptonomicon_, while a delightful read in it's own right, only confirmed that I will live with my wisdom teeth, come what may.

Read at your peril.
