Damn you, Evolution!

Dear, Evolution

Why is it that you decided to make our cranial cavities larger by sacrificing the size of our mandibles and maxillas, yet you still give 66% of us third molars, where 33% of which do not fit properly in the lessen sized jaws? I mean, did you really need to make our cranial cavity larger? For what? A larger brain? We only use ~10% of our current ones, making it larger is just a waste of resources, and hell, couldn't you have just made the entire skull larger instead? But I digress...
Getting wisdom teeth pulled sucks.

P.S. I now have two gaping holes in my gums, both of which are reminiscent of endless voids.

P.P.S. I just ate rice. The holes are now filled with rice.

But hey, at least I get to pop Percocets like candy. XD

Comment by Cwal on February 8, 2009 at 4:34am: I get acid reflux, which made me puke a lot when I was young, which is not good for your teeth.
Then, one happy fall, I turned 16, got 7 fillings, and my wisdom teeth out.
All in two weeks.
Shit sucks.
I ate a lot of taco bell because I could scrape it into my mouth.

Comment by Khaos on February 15, 2009 at 10:00am: =[ I had to get all 4 of mine out at once - they were impacted and I was awake. The dentist dropped my teeth onto the floor. And my stitches would bleed randomly at school haha. I wouldn't do that again if I had to!

Hopefully the next round goes really smoothly. Or you'll be too high to notice =D.

Comment by Somber on February 15, 2009 at 10:21am: that sucks,i got xrays a while ago and i have 3 wisdom teeth still in my gums that havent grown out yet. One is coming in sideways "like a bulldozer" according to my dentist,so as soon as they get roots they're gonna cut em out,which isnt good news :(

Comment by Kobalos on February 16, 2009 at 3:43am: Poor you.:/ Teeth are irritating.

I've heard more recently, that although on average we only use 10% of our brain at a time, the areas used varies. So, it does use more than 10% - just that that 10% roams across the different areas as needed.

Comment by Herb ☭ on February 16, 2009 at 5:01am: Thanks for all the sympathy.

I have to go back to the dentist tomorrow, because everything isn't healing up right.
Apparently, the bone where the tooth was rooted is now rather jagged and is poking through whilst ripping my gums to shreds and slicing my tongue every time it rubs up against it.
I have a feeling that fixing that will be worse than pulling teeth.

Also, that's interesting Skip, I'll need to look into it.
