After suffering from nosebleeds once or twice a month for three years, [a] 22-year-old man in Saudi Arabia consulted a doctor, who found an ivory-white, bony mass, about half an inch (1 cm) long in the man’s nose.

The doctors then consulted with dentist colleagues, who concluded that the mass was actually an extra tooth that had somehow ended up growing in his nose.

Extra teeth are not that uncommon, and may even grow upside down, but they rarely grow all the way into the nasal cavity.

Dunno, but I am a little dubious of the evolutionary benefit of a tooth in my nose. Chewing up rheum, I guess?

Color me unconvinced. I will try to keep an open mind, though, in the event that someone comes up with a good use for such.
