    During World War II how did Lucille Ball's dental work contribute to the war effort?

    Question #45128. Asked by TommyBundok.

    Her lead fillings were picking up Japanese radio stations according to the urban legend on http://urbanlegend.f2o.org/legends/?issue=5

    This myth has possibly been disproved. On the "Discovery" television channel, the show "Mythbusters" used scientific experiments to show that it is not possible to pick up radio stations or Morse code in your teeth fillings. However, it is possible for the pH of some foods to interact with a filling and create a sound similar to Morse code. But I guess it's not really all that important whether Lucille actually heard real Morse code or not, because the important thing is that the spy was caught. :)
