Pictures will be forthcoming, as soon as I manage to adjust the digital camera's lighting(currently images appear anywhere from red to green to all other tones)
Saw the way they measured the world's longest tongue(7 cm, a little under 3 inches). They started the tape measure a short distance back from the lips of the current holder(a 14 year old German girl) I tried running my own measurement. Just starting from the outer edge of my lips, my tongue is 6 cm(2 3/8 in) long. So if I were to measure in the same way as they did with the girl, my tongue is probably longer right? The only reasons it might look shorter are because:
1) My face is bigger(naturally, since I'm a 22 year old male and she's a 14 year old female)
2) I have slight malloclusion, my upper teeth stick out somewhat from the vertical. This of course means that my upper lip ends a little further out than that of an individual with a similarly sized head but straighter teeth.
Sooo, do you think I have a shot at the record? Unfortunately, I won't get any money from Guiness, but maybe I can market models of my tongue for um, "other purposes" :P
