"But after a few minutes, a couple cigarettes and several deep breaths, he sat in the basement of a storefront tattoo parlor, closed his eyes and let a friend split his tongue down the middle with a scalpel...his tongue was clamped in place, numbed and slit 2 inches (5 cm) up the middle, looking uncomfortably like a piece of raw liver freshly cut by a butcher."

it wasn't long before he could move each half independently and do party tricks like picking up pens and pencils.
His brain got a new function! I am wondering whether his tongue(s) can roll independently.

[I'm now having my meal ]

I wonder what it looks like when he sticks his tongue out and goes TTTTHHHHHHHHHHHH?

I can't even read the whole story. I had to stop when I got to the part about looking like liver.

Talk about speaking with a forked tongue!

Where are this kids parents?!
He will surely regret this eventually.
 
But just think of what you could do during oral sex...

oh look. There goes my mind! I got to go catch it before it goes down the gutter.

I know everyone thought it but I wondered who would first speak it; You rebel you
 
Imagine what he looks like licking a lollipop. Y, Y, Y, Y. God I'm cracking myself up here.
 
yuck that is so sick, i mean I am all into body art but that aint art that's deranged.

"beware the followers of lucy-fur for they shall speak with forked tongue (and a slight lisp/impediment)."

Did anyone actually read the last sentence of this article...

"But for believers in modification, a split tongue is merely a start. Split penises, sliced lengthwise in half, are not unheard of among aficionados."

One word: wow.

You know, Anyone who does this is an idiot. There's no justification. It doesn't make any kinda of political or social statement other than to say I'm into self-mutilation.

As for the penis thing *cringe* I don't care how good it makes me in bed. Go get a damn vibrator woman!

i don't see how it could be better in bed, unless you wanted to have the pleasure of 2 ladies at the same time. even so, i think it would seriously mess up how everything works down there.

Ouch! I opened a piercing magazine up once, right to the center pages where the staples were, and had the misfortune of seeing a closeup of this. I still feel a cringe reflex when I think about it.
