HANOI (Reuters) - A 95-year-old Vietnamese man who watched his teeth gradually drop out for 20 years has started teething again and now has a dozen new ones, an official newspaper reported on Monday.
Nguyen Cong Du in Phu Cu district of the northern province of Hung Yen started teething in 1998, growing both front and molar teeth that are ``as white as the baby-teeth,'' the official Thanh Nien (Young People) newspaper said.
Du has now been able to switch from what had become routine meals of congee, or broth, to Vietnam's popular steamed rice, the paper said.
WTH?
