Secrets for an impressive and informative talk
 Most weight lifted by a human tongue

Thomas Blackthorne (UK) holds the record for the most

weight lifted with a human tongue, lifting 12.5 kg (27 lb
8.96 oz) on the set of El Show Olmpico in Mexico City,
Mexico, on August 1, 2008.

I this achievement really demonstrates how strong are

muscles in our tongue. The achievement would be
greater if Thomas Blackthorne's tongue can be
researched by doctors to learn more about the capability
of the human tongue and help with tongue-related
medical procedures.
 Largest Rubber Band Ball

Joel Waul (USA) created the world's largest rubber band

ball, which weighs 4,097 kg (9,032 lb) and was measured
on November 13, 2008, in Lauderhill, Florida, USA.
The measurement took place during the 2008 Guinness
World Records Day celebrations. For the ball, 700,000
rubber bands of various sizes were used. Joel began
working on his rubber band ball in April of 2004.

This achievement/record displays the unique property of

rubber, it can be further researched by scientists and
possible used to create new items. Furthermore, this
achievement could be greater if the rubber was donated.
This way, this achievement will be very helpful to
everyone.
 Longest ear hair

Anthony Victor (India) has hair that reaches 18.1 cm

(7.12 in) in length from the center of his outer ears
(middle of the pinna). Anthony is a retired headmaster
dubbed "the ear-haired teacher" by his students.

I believe this record/achievement could be greater if

Anthony Victor volunteered himself to help research
about the hairs in the ear.
 Longest fingernails (male)

Melvin Boothe (USA) holds the record for the longest

fingernails on a pair of hands ever (male) as well as the
overall record for the longest fingernails ever, with a
total length of 9.85 m. (32 ft 3.8 in). On May 30, 2009, his
nails were measured in Troy, Michigan, USA.

I think he could be researched or interviewed to find out

more about the risks of growing nails that long and how is
he able to grow it to that extent. Knowing more about the
health risks of having long nails will be very beneficial to
everyone. Making this achievement/record greater as the
information we get will be very helpful.
 Most expensive sandwich

As of 29 October 2014, the most expensive commercially

available sandwich is the "Quintessential Grilled Cheese,"
which costs US $214 (£132.64) at Serendipity 3 in New York,
New York, USA. The Quintessential Grilled Cheese is served
with white truffle butter and the extremely rare Caciocavallo
Podolico cheese on two pieces of French Pullman champagne
bread made with Dom Perignon champagne and edible gold
flakes. As a dipping sauce, the sandwich is served with South
African Lobster Tomato Bisque.

This achievement really shows how price is greatly affected by

ingredients. I think this achievement would be better if the
restaurant share how they make the sandwich and how the
idea to make the dish came to mind. This is to inspire other
fine dining restaurants to create their own unique dish and
increase the variety in foods.
