This means that we don't require these extra teeth to eat tough foods and survive.

When the weatherman reports a "real feel" temperature of -10 degrees outside, it may appear as if he made up the figure on the spot. Wind chill, on the other hand, is calculated using a complex equation devised by meteorologists.
