Stephen Taylor (UK) has a tongue that measures 9.5 cm (3.74 in) from the tip to
the centre of his closed top lip. It was measured on the set of 'Lo Show dei
Record' in Milan, Italy on January 5, 2006.
World's Longest Tongue - woman
German schoolgirl
Annika Irmler has licked her way into the Guinness Book of
Records (before Stephen Taylor at 2001) with her whopping seven centimetre tongue.
"My friends always said I had an incredibly long tongue - I could make lots of
money with it one day," said Annika.
The twelve-year-old from Tangstedt, near Hamburg, can lick the ice cream from
the bottom of a cornet - while her friends have to use their fingers.
Stick it out
"I'm just proud that now people everywhere can read about me and my tongue," she
said.
"On my first day at school I had to stick my tongue out for everyone."
