Man's Dentures Stop Bullet 1

81-year-old Zacarias Pacheco should be able to live comfortably the rest of his life as the world's greatest denture cream spokesman after his false teeth stopped a bullet from reaching his brain. Pacheco was shot working at his bar late last week. Hospital official Jose Marcos da Silva was quoted by Globo TV's G1 website Saturday as saying that the bullet probably would have pierced Moraes' brain if it hadn't first hit his dentures before lodging in his throat. The official said the bullet will not be removed immediately because surgery right now would be too risky.
