Belgian filmmaker Sacha Feiner has officially proven that tongues can do more than just wag. Already famous for puffing up his tongue at a whopping 17 cm circumference, Feiner has now licked his way into getting another world record title by touching his nose with it 421 times in one minute. While most assumed that the massive tongue would slow the 43-year-old down from achieving this new record, but Feiner proved them wrong: apparently the world's biggest tongue is also designed for speed.

To celebrate, the filmmaker is even creating absurd tongue-themed merchandise and animated trophies because well, somebody's gotta do it!
