Greatest Weight lifted by a human tongue

It is true that humans can go to any extent when it comes to setting records or beating them.Let it be outrageous,weird,scary,adventurous,crazy  you can add any number of adjectives but humans can just resist them all the way.
The reason for mentioning this  was that  we were pretty surprised by the grit and courage of this man Thomas Blackthorne who  has mastered the art of lifting heavy objects hooked through his tongue.Sounds really scary  but must really hats off to this man for showing the world what majority of us would find it hard and may be even nervous to do.
This incredible record  of lifting 12.5 Kg weight at the El Show OlĂ­mpico, in Mexico City, Mexico,  was held on 1 August 2008.The entire experience would have been like a   spike of pain – something like when one's dentist drills at high speed into a nerve by mistake – jolted up on the  head and across the  tongue in particular for this guy.This sends shrills to our backbone too.
Mind it one has to be mentally prepared,seek a lot of training, and exercise to ensure that the tongue is fit and strong to even try doing a similar feat.At the thought of such records itself we do tend to doubt the sanity of the individual attempting such records .But  Blackthorne  is a perfect example of mind power and the perseverence to undertake the challenge.
Thomas Blackthorne from United Kingdom  has earned the accolades hard enough much to the shock of the world .He  truly deserves good honour.
