Archaeology is certainly underrepresented here on Savage Minds, but this discovery is worth a mention:

Stone age people in Pakistan were using dental drills made of flint 9,000 years ago, according to researchers.

Teeth from a Neolithic graveyard in Mehgarh in the country’s Baluchistan province show clear signs of drilling.

Analysis of the teeth shows prehistoric dentists had a go at curing toothache with drills made from flint heads.

Do you think stone age dentists thought they were comedians as well?
