Tampa dentist aims to break world record for pulling car with teeth

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 02:49:00 GMT

One Tampa area dentist is doing something drastic with his teeth. Mike Foley loves to show off the power of his jaws, a nod to his favorite movie. “The easiest thing to find in Florida is shark teeth, and so we go to beaches, and I find 15 to 20 shark teeth at a time, and that’s what pretty much hooked me on teeth,” Foley said. After collecting thousands of shark teeth as a kid, Foley decided to move on to human teeth as an adult, not collecting but cleaning. “It’s an easy transition, but it’s funny, I end up talking to my patients about my shark teeth passion quite often,” Foley said. Foley even made shark dentures, which ended up in Ripley’s Believe It or Not.“A lot of my collection kind of revolves around what they have,” he said. “If it has 4.5-inch teeth, it was probably a 45-foot shark.”But it’s Foley’s latest project that goes against convention. It was an idea he got from an acrobatic circus...

Here’s the latest installment of our Miami Dolphins Q&A, where South Florida Sun Sentinel writers David Furones and Chris Perkins answer questions from readers.Q: Any internal reaction from the Dolphins to Tyreek’s 2025 retirement announcement? — Gage Mitchusson on TwitterA: I wouldn’t immediately call it a retirement “announcement,” but Hill at least let it be known he may have his sights set on a certain year.The speedster said two things regarding a potential retirement when he appeared on Kansas City’s Sports Radio 810 this week: That he wants to reach Year 10 in his career (he enters an eighth NFL season in 2023), and that he wants to finish out his current contract with the Dolphins. He’s currently under contract through 2026 with Miami, but the deal may never reach that final season at a $56.3 million cap hit with an $11.3 million dead cap number.No internal reaction from the Dolphins has been put out, but I’d imagine ...

Mets Notebook: Justin Verlander disappointed to miss Citi Field opener, but optimistic he’ll be pitching soon

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 02:49:00 GMT

Justin Verlander felt like the new kid in school all spring. The 40-year-old ace had previously spent his entire career with only two other teams, the Detroit Tigers and the Houston Astros, and had never been in spring training with a new one until he came to Port St. Lucie as a free agent signing in February.The Mets’ home opener was going to be his moment to show his new team and the fans what he was all about. Instead, Verlander will watch right-hander Tylor Megill start against the Miami Marlins on Friday afternoon at Citi Field, sidelined with a teres major strain in his right shoulder.“[It feels] like crap,” Verlander said Friday morning, standing at his Citi Field locker for the first time. “Just not the way I envisioned starting my career with them. It’s disappointing, to be honest, but I’m always a glass-half-full type of person, I’m always trying to be as positive as possible. And even though this isn’t the way I would have l...

Happy Easter! Eggs are still super expensive

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 02:49:00 GMT

If you were planning to dye eggs this Easter, well, maybe opt for decorating some cookies instead. That’s because, after a year of climbing prices, the cost of eggs is still frustratingly high.The average cost of a dozen large, Grade A eggs in February was $4.21, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ consumer price index, published March 14. That’s up — OK, way, way up — from $2.01 a year earlier.Eggs aren’t alone when it comes to rising food costs; you’ve probably noticed that, on the whole, groceries are pricier. The index for groceries increased 10.2% year over year, according to the CPI report, which is a measure of the average change in prices paid by U.S. consumers.Eggs, specifically, are now so expensive because of a bird flu that started in January 2022 and has led to the deaths of nearly 59 million birds, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. So there’s a supply and demand issue, to say the least, and inflation hasn’t helped.But there may be a light a...
