Now, I'm not easily impressed when it comes to Guinness Book of World Records and the human anatomy, but this guy is kind of impressive.

Byron Schlenker is Father of three and after his kids kept saying how big this particular body part of his was, he wrote to Guinness book of world records about it.  They sent out officials to see it and measure for themselves…

And now he officially has the World's Widest Tongue, according to Guinness World Records.  Byron said his daughter examined the width of his tongue, after she saw the previous record listed in a copy of the Guinness Book of World Records from 2012.

Schlenker's tongue is 8.3cm wide - beating the record of 7.9cm by a full 4 tenths of a centimeter.  He said during the measuring his tongue got really tired.  He had to stick it out for about 3 hours for all the poking prodding and measuring.

He also noted that a tongue is a muscle like anything else, and can get bigger if you work it out and because he has been asked to stick his tongue out so many times during the day to show off his record holding tongue, it is now even bigger.  . He said that if measure his tongue now, it's about 8.6 cm.'
