We here at the Department of Unusal Questions (or the D.U.Q for short) have prepared a handy little graphic on the topic of Disney's duck teeth (or "DuckTeeth: Woo-oo!"):
Love the sketch, Deb! It's dated 2016--does that mean that the Department of Unusual Questions has actually ANTICIPATED all the unusual questions that will come up on this forum and prepared explanatory sketches on them? That's awesome!
I'd go for the acronym D.U.Q., since it could be pronounced "duck"....
Good idea...and fixed! Actually, we here at D.U.Q. headquarters...really aren't very organized. One of our members happened to find that graphic going through Debbie's old sketchbooks, and thought, "Hmm, that is something that someone somewhere might wonder about", so they photographed it and filled it away in our extensive pile of disorganized stuff...er, I mean, very neatly and logically organized filing system. We would have looked for more info, but at that point, Debbie came home and saw our D.U.Q. agents Donald and Fethry going through old sketches and quickly called the police, at which point our agents made a hasty retreat. Fortunately D.U.Q. founder and financer Scrooge McDuck reluctantly bailed them out of jail, and they are now back on the job searching the world for answers to unusual questions. (Sorry for going off topic...but this was fun to write!)
I'd rather not have videos showing necrophilia and the sort linked outside of the adult section
Sorry! I still cannot realize that kids are on the internet these days,and a forum like this can attract them. (I still would make any forum like this all an 'adult zone', but your forum your rules!)
Anthropomorphic ducks having retractable teeth? Sounds creepy! (Makes me think of the Coneheads)
... wait, ducks have teeth in real life?
No, only some primitive duck-like birds some 80-60 million years ago, at the time one line of dinosaurs was evolving into birds.
But, I think it may be possible for them to pop up extremely rarely as a "throwback", as the chromosomes for all of what animals evolved from are still within them, those genes are just not activated. I'm sure I've seen old newspaper articles from the early 1900s and late 1800s stating that a farmer had a chicken with teeth. So, I'd guess that should be happening with ducks as well. I'd guess that the people with long hair("dog-faced boy") all over their bodies is a similar situation, of a gene for hair all over the body being activated as it "should have been" 3 million years ago, but normal now is to have it remain dormant.
The term, "rare as hens' teeth" is around probably because teeth popped up in chickens once in a very, very great while, rather than never.
