Photo: This Man And His Daughter Have The World's Largest TONGUES

Pictured above is Byron Schlenker, 47, and his daughter Emily 14.  The duo have the worlds's  largest tongues.
Bryon however stands out and won the Guiness book of world record title after his tongue was measured to be 3.37-inch wide last November. 
His daughter Emily's tongue measures 2.89-inch, the world's largest for a woman.
To put that in context, "it's roughly more than two centimeters wider than the new iPhone 6,"Schlenker told Barcroft TV.
Previously, the widest tongue was 3.1 inches, according to Guinness World Records, the repository for obscure and unique bodily measurements.

For his part, Byron said he is getting used to the fame that comes with the Guinness title.

"I get stopped by people at the grocery store or when I'm out in town to take a picture," he said, according to the Telegraph. "I have had people come to my house to sign their record book. I even had one lady who asked me to lick her Guinness Book, which I politely declined.”
"Most people are just surprised I can talk normally." He said.
 Schlenker always knew his tongue was a mouthful, but didn't realize it was a record breaker until he was helping his daughter, Emily, 14, with a school project.

Looking at a copy of Guinness World Records, Schlenker saw a page featuring an Australian man with the world's widest tongue. He decided to see if his tongue was wider.

His daughter measured it, and soon he was contacting Guinness, according to the New York Post.

"It does feel a little weird. It's something that doesn't happen every day," 
Emily said, according to the Mirror.

Tongues wider than an iPhone 6??? Mehn, that is something! Lool.
