They should rename the town "We Have Incisors for a Reason, TX" for one day, for spite.

If you read the definition... a front tooth typically adapted for cutting; especially : one of the cutting teeth in mammals located between the canines when canines are present .

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canine_tooth

Aka cuspids, fangs, etc... you know, the kind of teeth that carnivores typically have. Incisors and molars are typically larger and more akin to cutting and chewing respectively (i.e., grass, leaves) in herbivores, whereas the canine is for grasping/tearing (i.e., meat). Unless you were trying to go the other way with the name thing...

Incisors are more for tearing, than chewing, as are any teeth without cusps.

You're both right.

True, but if you absolutely had to... you'd be better equipped than, say, another deer.

Or an internet debate without a Nazi reference (Godwin's rule).

That zombie in the Walking Dead had no problems tearing through that deer in season 1.
