Lennon's Tooth

One of John Lennon's teeth, a rotten molar to be exact, just sold for $31,200 at an auction in England. Lennon's former house keeper, Dorothy Jarlett, was to dispose of the tooth, but gave it to her daughter instead (a raving Beatles fan).

The tooth was to be thrown away between 1964-1968. Dorothy decided it was now time to pass it on, considering she is now 90 years old.

Canadian dentist Michael Zuk bought the tooth Saturday at the auction.

Great PR for that dentist if he displays it in his office! would go there just to see the tooth.

What is the world coming to?! I've never understood keeping things from famous people anyway but from someone who is dead! That is so disrespectful to me. It's not even something of what he is famous for. It's the man's teeth.
