Woman with ‘split tongue’ tastes two drinks at same time
Brianna Mary Shihadeh is a dreadlock artist living in California, who has a passion for body modification. She has surgically split her tongue and now said that she can taste two separate things at the same time.
Ms Shihadeh, who has over 228,000 followers on Instagram, recently posted a reel on the social media platform where she tried Sprite (a soft drink) and water at the same time.
In the video captioned “What two flavours would you try first?” she is seen pouring a glass of water alongside a glass of Sprite. As she bent down, her split tongue allowed her to taste both drinks at the same time.
According to the British Dental Journal, “the process of tongue splitting is dangerous and those who do it “are putting themselves at serious risk of haemorrhage, infection and nerve damage.” — ndtv.com
A 98-year-old British World War II veteran, Harry Heasman officially became the world’s oldest wing walker when he stood atop a flying plane in England.
He spent more than 9 minutes atop the plane at a height of over 1,000 feet on Saturday at Duxford Airfield in Cambridge.
A Guinness World Records adjudicator was on hand to officially certify Heasman as the world’s oldest wing walker.
“I have dreamed of doing this since I was a young child and to finally live that dream at 98 years old and to be a Guinness World Records title holder is beyond anything I could have ever imagined,” Heasman told Guinness World Records.
The nonagenarian said he spent 11 months working with a physical trainer to get his body and mind ready for the attempt.
His record attempt raised money for the Lennox Children’s Cancer Fund and served as a tribute to his wife and son, who both died after battles with cancer.
“Harry is proof that it is never too late to chase a dream. At 98 years old, what he has achieved is nothing short of extraordinary. Over the last few months, I’ve had the privilege of getting to know him and seeing the determination behind this challenge,” said Lindsey Bidwell, a representative from the Lennox Children’s Cancer Fund.
