mind the gap


some pick me ups for a lonely saturday night:

"In the Canterbury Tales, Geoffrey Chaucer wrote of the "gap-toothed wife of Bath." As early as this time period, the gap between the front teeth, especially in women, had been associated with lustful characteristics. Thus, the implication in describing "the gap-toothed wife of Bath" is that she is a middle-aged woman with insatiable lust. This has no scientific basis, but it has been a popular assumption in folklore since the Middle Ages."

oo, risque.

"In France, they are called "dents du bonheur" ("lucky teeth")."

great!

Notable people with gap teeth:

Condoleezza Rice, United States Secretary of State

Elton John, English pop/rock singer and musician

Elijah Wood, American actor

Ronaldo, Brazilian footballer

Madonna, American singer

David Letterman, American TV comedian

Jemaine Clement, musician/comedian

Vanessa Paradis, French singer/actress

I have a gap too! I can't decide how excited I should be to be in a list with Condoleezza Rice, Elton John and Madonna, though.
