Please excuse this simplistic question.... My 2nd grader comes home and tell us what she has learned that day. Yesterday is was: The strongest muscle in the human body is the TONGUE. Is that right? I always thought it was the muscles surrounding the uterus in females followed by the jaw muscles in both males and females. Which is it? Any sources I can consult for a definitive answer? Thanks.

"The strongest muscle in the human body is the TONGUE." Are you sure it wasn't "most powerful"? Do you think your 2nd-grader could have been taking literally what was meant as a cute figure-of-speech? That is, you can get more work done faster by asking a bunch of other people to help than by doing it all yourself... -- Christine King, bcking@ileaf.com Interleaf, Inc. | My opinions are not | "Time is like that, 9 Hillside Avenue | necessarily those of | except for the cannon Waltham MA 02154 USA | Interleaf, Inc. | and the donut." -Dilbert
