22nd July 1582: Willem van Orange moves from Antwerp to Delft

Some moves are just not wise...
(Willem was shot to death in Delft.)

Orange also is the name of a disco club in the Bulgarian resort Sunny Beach.
All of Dentaprime's 'no shows' are people who think the distance between Sunny Beach and our clinic is 10 miles at the most. These people have a twisted idea of Bulgaria.
They think of it as a twin sister of Wales (20.779 square kms.) It is not. It is Wales' BIG sister (five times as large.)
Which reminds me of the movie in which Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny de Vito play twin brothers and -using very free association- this brings me to the twins and triplets in your mouth.

In each quarter of your mouth, the premolars and incisors are twins and the molars are triplets. Only the canine is without siblings. Poor thing...
There is one canine that did not suffer from an attention shortage, though.
Once upon a long long time ago, a monk nicked the left upper canine tooth from the deceased Buddha.
In the 4th century, the same tooth was hidden in the hair of a princess to keep it safe during a time of political crisis.
In 1560 the Portuguese captured the Tooth. They took it to Goa where an Archbishop burned it. Sri Lankan kings, however, sometimes had replicas of the Tooth made and it turned out that th Portuguese had captured one of these replicas.
The real Tooth was brought to Kandy (Sri Lanka) where it has remained ever since. You can visit it in its own temple: The Temple of ..... Tooth.
