8. Heaviest Weight Lifted By Tongue
*Not for the squeamish. Feel free to click 'Next' and go straight to the next entry.* Thomas Blackthorne is a strange, strange man. I'm not saying that in a bad way, I'm saying that in a "One day he decided to spend six years building up the strength of his tongue so he could lift weights" way. His efforts culminated in a successful attempt at a Guinness World Record for Heaviest Weight Lifted By Tongue, in which he hefted an impressive 11 kilos (between 20-30 pounds for us Yankees). How did he use his tongue to lift such a staggering amount? With a clamp, or a.... oh good heavens no,
a hook pierced through his tongue?!! Excuse me, I feel a little nauseated. I think I need to... sit for a while.
