Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Bluetooth -- about the name:

The system is named after a Danish king Harald Blåtand (Harold Bluetooth in English), King of Denmark and Norway from 935 and 936 respectively, to 940 known for his unification of previously warring tribes from Denmark (including Skåne, present-day Sweden, where the Bluetooth technology was invented) and Norway. Bluetooth likewise was intended to unify different technologies like computers and mobile phones. The Bluetooth logo merges the Nordic runes analogous to the modern Latin H and B. This is the official story; however, the actual Harald Blåtand that was referred to in naming Bluetooth was most probably the liberal interpretation given to him in The Long Ships by Frans Gunnar Bengtsson, a Swedish best-selling Viking-inspired novel.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Five hours? That's pretty good!

Or, um, so I've been told...

Well... fine. Just because she went and read the actual link, and stuff...

Why would he have blue teeth, though?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Yeah, sorry about that. I'd forgotten there was a link in ita's post, and thus I couldn't figure out where the color comment was coming from. Didn't mean to asperse your tech-knowledge.

tooth decay?

I guess, but... blue? Maybe this is one of those avenues best left unexplored. Dark things lurk down there.

Or maybe he just knew what the color blue tastes like, in which case he should be called something else.

Okay, I know I'm not the only one to have seen this movie.

vw has, but I think she fell asleep long before that line came up, so she's excused.
