The ART of evolution revisited

  Funny that, Nick. Weren't they either third-hand accounts or stories from a hundred years ago?

  People live into their hundreds all the time. In fact, the record holder for "oldest living human" is currently alive, IIRC.

  Yet you can't find one decent documented case for a third set of teeth.

  I can find more 'evidence' (by your standards) of the Loch Ness monster and Sasquatches.

No.

If that's true, PLEASE share it. I could make millions with evidence that good.

Who needs evidence? I've got proof!

Adding:

Here is a list of sightings of Nessie from recent years. I think this tops the evidence we were given for the teeth claim very easily. Heck, its all recent, and none of it could just as well be a misunderstood joke about dentures.

  Come on, Nick! All you need to prove your "third set of teeth" is a single paper by a dentist or anatomist in the last fiftyyears! Any reference in a modern textbook, in Gray's Anatomy. Any X-rays of a third set of toothbuds.

  Come on, Nick. It's not that hard. I'm not asking you for anything onerous. Heck, if you want, I'll prove the existance of the occasional tailed human. Or the existance of people born with 6 fingers.

   Or even some rare (and nasty) skin conditions.

   I'm not asking you for anything more complicated then a basic medical reference to what you say is a common occurance in people living to an old enough age. Well, life expectancy now is higher than it has ever been in the recorded history of man, so you should be able to dig some references up easily.
