I’m not sure if she’s Annika Irmler, a German schoolgirl, having the biggest tongue (for female), according the Guinness World Records Book. Annika’s tongue is 7 centimetres (2.76 inches) long, but this is not the biggest! The absolute biggest tongue belongs to Stephen Taylor. His tongue is 9.5 centimetres (3.74 inches) long [source].
French kiss anyone?
An NHK camera crew has captured a flying fish traveling through the air for 45 seconds, in what could be a new world record.
The footage was taken on Monday, from a ferry near Kuchino-erabu island in Kagoshima prefecture, southwestern Japan.
The fish flew alongside a ferry that was traveling at roughly 30 kilometers per hour. The fish was able to continue flying by occasionally beating the surface of the water with its tail-fin when its flight height became low.
An expert says the flight time beats the previous record of 42 seconds reported by an American researcher in the 1920s. He says the flight of 45 seconds must be close to the fish’s biological limit, as brachial respiration is impossible while flying in air.
It was to be one of the biggest science experiments ever seen yet there was not a bunson burner or test tube in sight.
Around 1,500 students kitted out in waterproof ponchos discovered exactly what happens when you drop a mint sweet into a bottle of Coca Cola, in an attempt to break a world record.
