Dentures that once belonged to Winston Churchill are in the news after fetching £15,200 in an auction.
In his wartime radio broadcasts, Churchill’s distinctive voice was instantly recognisable. He wanted it to stay that way, so he had his dentures designed specifically to preserve his lisp…
“Without them, ‘Fight them on the beaches’ would never have sounded the same. They were vital to the war effort.”
“Churchill used to flick out his dentures when he was angry and throw them across the room… My father used to say he could tell how the war was going by how far they flew.”

The Art of Manliness blog has an excellent post turning the wits of Winston Churchill into stylish motivational posters.
I'd like to see Brett and Kate McKay of AoM Blog turn these favorite Churchill quotes of mine into a poster:
Bessie Braddock: Sir, you are drunk.
Churchill: And you, madam, are ugly. But in the morning, I shall be sober.
and
Lady Nancy Astor: Winston, if I were your wife, I'd poison your tea.
Churchill: Nancy, if I were your husband, I'd drink it.
Musician Michael Schmoyoho Gregory remixed a 1941 speech by Churchill with a techno beat. That is techno, right? I don’t know anything about music, but I do know that this is awesome.
