So Weird: Meet The Girl With The Longest Tongue In The World (Photos)



Chanel Tapper, a student from California, USA, has the world's longest tongue, measuring 9.75 cm (3.8 in), from tip to top lip.
Her lizard-like tongue is twice as long as the average, as long as the world's largest cockroach, as wide as your palm, the same volume as a quarter pounder hamburger and around the same length as an iPhone!!

Here what she told Guinness World Records about her record-breaking body part in an interview.
  • When did you first realise that your tongue was longer than average? What happened?
 I was eight and my mom and I were taking pictures for Halloween.
In one of the pictures we stuck our tongues out. I noticed I had a long tongue when the pictures from Halloween were printed and I saw it...but I guess it became apparent in middle school when people started commenting on it.
Why I stuck my tongue out at people, I don't know... I'm goofy! But there are still some people from back then that only remember me because of my tongue!
  • What reaction do you get from people when they see it?
For most people it's a jaw-dropping experience. It's like they don't believe what they see and nie out of ten times, they'll ask me to do it again.
Some girls/women have screamed/jumped back. If there are other people around, the person who saw my tongue will tell the nearest next to them.
I'll often get asked questions like, "can you touch your nose or elbow?" and, "do you choke people when you kiss them?"
But always, everyone in one way or another is entertained by seeing it.
  • Despite the excitement of having achieved a Guinness World Record, if you had the choice would you keep your long tongue or choose to have a 'normal' one?
 This is my normal tongue. I was born like this, so no choice would be necessary.
  • Are there any explanations for your long tongue such as other members of your family having the same trait or was it just by chance?
 My mom has a long tongue, but not like my length. I believe I was born without something underneath that prevents it from extending far.
  • Does it affect your relationships in any way? Do you currently have a boyfriend and if so, what does he think?
 It does. Most guys that know or already see it automatically have their mind in the gutter, and so do some females. I don't have a boyfriend, but the last guy I dated didn't make it that big of a deal, and I really liked him for that.

Understanding The Oil Theft Business In Nigeria (All About Stolen Crude)

ALL ABOUT STOLEN CRUDE...Things you would never have known. BY ENA OFUGARA

I have heard some of the dumbest statements about crude oil theft from some top social critics who have never taken the time to read up or understand oil theft in the Niger Delta of Nigeria or globally. I do not know if maybe because there is little material available that deeply explains the goings-on

I have found that like me when I watch football and my team is losing, even if it is to a much better-prepared, organized and financially savvy team, I scream at my team's coach who is not even the goalkeeper that allowed in a goal my late grandma would have caught with her arthritis. NO! I still scream "he no sabi coach. the coach yeye. sack am". So also have many Nigerians been at daggers-drawn with the administration of Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, many accusing him of either being indolent in the fight to stop oil theft, complicity in or in fact being the very thief of the crude. The only thing I have not heard is that the President's black colour/complexion is the crude that poured on him on one of the crude oil stealing missions

Sanyeri Wedding Ceremony

"When i meet my wife back then, i didn't have the financial muscle to have a proper wedding, but i thank GOD that I'm now capable to do the needful, and it's also a way of appreciating my wife of staying with me even when i had nothing.
You know, not a lot of women can take risks.Some women believe that when they want to get married, they should settle with someone who is already Comfortable, but when my wife met me, even i myself didn't know where i was heading to in terms of my future. To feed myself alone was even difficult; talk more of an extra mouth.

She just took that risk, and i thank GOD that it has ended well for her, Since it has turned out like this I have to show her my appreciation, and also to let people know that i'm a good person. I just pray to God to make it peaceful, and for everybody that will be attending, Journey mercies as they travel fro and back from the ceremony. I also dont want fights or rancour of any kind. After the wedding, I've also promised my wife we'll be having our honeymoon In Germany!"

We Nigerian artistes are a funny bunch (I use the term ‘we’ strictly, because one way or the other, every Nigerian is an artiste).

We dream of headlining sold-out overcrowded concerts, and getting endorsement deals from MTN, Gulder, Gold Circle, and God himself. But wait!..read the fantastic story below en see more pictures
