A formerly blind man in Canada can now see out of one eye after undergoing a rare 'tooth-in-eye' procedure. Brent Chapman, 34, lost his vision at 13 years old after experiencing a rare allergic reaction.

        Your canines, so called because an optic nerve runs near them and can cause brain freezes and similar effects when they get chilled.

          I’ve never thought to wonder why that happens, and that explains why I get those more often than my spouse (my canines are huge, especially relative to theirs).
