And artificial teeth.
(Interestingly, when they talk about the artificial jaw (see end of article), they mention having a dental bridge, because, of course, a jaw needs teeth. But I assume these teeth aren't real ones. Maybe false teeth just aren't exciting enough? But I bet patient satisfaction levels are pretty good.)

Best humorously wrong homophone I've seen in awhile. (If anyone's wondering, "grisly" is probably the word that was meant ("gruesome; causing horror or disgust"), whereas "grizzly racing" sounds like a race involving grizzly bears.)

You know you're extreme when you race grizzlies.
