- The true identity of the stern, pitchfork-wielding farmer in Grant Wood's classic painting American Gothic. (He was Wood's dentist.)
- Who had the first known cavity. (It was found in the fossilized mouth of a plant-eating dinosaur that lived in the Cretaceous period more than 63 million years ago.)
