“a set of excellent teeth” [RESI]
Around these parts, we've surveyed the implications of teeth,
teeth marks and other clues for the purpose of investigation and
detection (listen to Episode 206), but we never looked
comprehensively at teeth.
In this episode, our discussion ranges from Oscar Wilde's
choppers to the history of unfair stereotypes, to pondering how one
can tell the cut from a tooth from the cut of a dull knife, and
more. It's just a Trifle.
If you have a suggestion for a Trifles episode, let us

air, we'll send you some Sherlockian goodies.
