11. AND FINALLY At least 75% of people who read this will try to lick their elbow!

Now, for the general public to know - I, Mike Lopez - is among the 75%
as I tried to lick my elbow.  Now, that's not the funny
part.  The funny part is that I already know that it's impossible
to lick my elbow ever since I was 6 years old and I even challenge
other people to do it.  But then, I did it again -
instinct???  or… LOL.

On the other hand, my friend Benj Arriola told me about one long
tongue.  We wondered if German Schoolgirl Annika Irmler's 7cm
tongue (world's longest according to Guinness) could lick her
tongue.  Click here to read her story from BBC.

But then as Benj scoured the web for more (as he always does), he found the latest from the Guinness Website itself - 9.4cm long!!!
