2/11 John Lennon's tooth: The weird part isn't even that John Lennon's tooth sold at acution for $45,700, or that it was bought by a dentist. The weird part is how the tooth got out in public in the first place: Lennon gave his own tooth to his housekeeper and asked her to give it to her daughter as a souvenir of The Beatles.
