Viking remains reveal warriors filed their teeth to appear more ferocious to enemies | Mail Online: "An axe-swinging 'rape and pillage' fighter found in a Viking burial pit had filed his teeth to look more ferocious in battle.

The warrior, found in Weymouth, Dorset, had grooves filed into his two front teeth."
