Putting Canada on the Map
I cut this out of an article I read online this morning:
Several Canadians were among the chosen few who this year earned Guinness World Records recognition by showcasing their oddball talents or traits for a place in the history books?."People can read about you in Russia or India or South America - that's kind of a kick," Claxton said. "People do want to make their mark. Your name is placed side by side (with the best) in this hall of fame."
?Equally odd but not quite as long is the tooth of nine-year-old Mark Henry.
The Grade 4 student from Francis Lake, Ont., was recognized by Guinness for the largest human tooth: an incisor 2.28 centimetres long and 1.2 centimetres wide.
A local orthodontist who examined the boy's top right front tooth called it "the monster."
Dr. Gabriela Gandila, an Owen Sound, Ont., dentist, labelled it "the horse tooth" and suggested the boy's family contact Guinness to have the record documented.
Gandila said the size of the tooth would be "remarkable" for a person of any age, let alone a young boy. Mark's other teeth are of normal size, and no one can explain why the record-setting incisor grew so large.
In any case, Mark thought his huge tooth and the surrounding attention was "awesome."
