Your heart is the strongest muscle in your bodie

[The Dark Master]

Bodie? DOn't you mean body?

Actually, the tounge is the strongest muscle in your body. My uncle has a webpage full of fun facts, coindidentally. Here are some from there:

Every time you lick a stamp, you're consuming 1/10 of a calorie.

The human heart creates enough pressure when it pumps out to the body to squirt blood 30 feet.

Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an hour.

A person cannot taste food unless it is mixed with saliva. For example, if strong-tasting substance like salt is placed on a dry tongue, the taste buds will not be able to taste it. As soon as a drop of saliva is added and the salt is dissolved, however, a definite taste sensation results. This is true for all foods. Try it!
