I see you with my tooth

An eye for an eye a tooth and tooth for a tooth an eye... See this article in the Telegraph:

The procedure began when one of Mr Jones' canine teeth was removed and converted into a holder for a special optical lens by drilling a hole in it.

The tooth was then inserted into his cheek for three months to enable it to grow new tissue and blood vessels.

Then finally came the delicate operation to insert the tooth, complete with the fitted lens into Mr Jones' right eyeball.

Within two weeks of the final operation to implant the tooth in his eyeball his sight returned and he was told he had almost perfect vision in his right eye.

(thanks, Cindy)

Do you ever wake up and think that life is just getting weird?
