Churchill's false teeth sold for £16,000
A set of Winston Churchill's false teeth has sold at auction for 16,000 pounds.
The British wartime leader had problems with his teeth, and speech, from an early age and had solid gold dentures designed to compensate for his distinctive lisp when public speaking.

BEST MAN FOR THE JOB
It is time to elect a world leader, and your vote counts. Here’s the scoop on the three leading candidates.
Candidate A: associates with ward heelers and consults with astrologists. He’s had two mistresses. He chain smokes and drinks 8 to 10 martinis a day.
Candidate B: was kicked out of office twice, sleeps until noon, used opium in college and drinks a quart of brandy every evening.
Candidate C: is a decorated war hero. He’s a vegetarian, doesn’t smoke, drinks an occasional beer and hasn’t had any illicit affairs.
Which of these candidates is your choice??
Candidate A is Franklin D. Roosevelt
Candidate B is Winston Churchill
Candidate C is Adolph Hitler

Hitler was a decorated war hero. He was a vegetarian, didn't smoke and drank only an occasional beer and hadn't have any illicit affairs. Does that mean he's anybody's hero even though he drove the world to war and killed 6 million Jews besides millions of Russians and others?
