	Tongue in Cheek
		My blog's name Tongue in Cheek was given to me by my friend Kristen who writes a wonderful blog called: A French Word A Day.
		What she meant was that the antiques I like to collect are nice enough but not too serious or stuffy, they look good but rarely are in perfect condition.
		Tongue in Cheek as you know is not just about antiques, nor is just about my living in France.

	Tongue - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The tongue is the large bundle of muscles on the floor of the mouth that manipulates food for chewing and swallowing.
		The tongue is made mainly of skeletal muscle and attached to the hyoid bone, mandible and the styloid processes of the temporal bone.
		The tongue is also one of the more common parts of the human anatomy to be subject to piercing and body modification, a phenomenon that is sometimes associated with certain subcultures or demographics.

	Tongue (anatomy) - MSN Encarta
		Tongue (anatomy), muscular organ in the mouth, the primary organ of taste and important in the formation of speech and in the chewing and swallowing of food.
		The tongue, which is covered by a mucous membrane, extends from the hyoid bone at the back of the mouth upward and forward to the lips.
		In chewing, the tongue holds the food against the teeth; in swallowing, it moves the food back into the pharynx, and then into the esophagus when the pressure of the tongue closes the opening of the trachea, or windpipe.

	Tongue bifurcation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tongue bifurcation, or tongue splitting, is a type of body modification in which the tongue is cut centrally from its tip part of the way towards its base, forking the end.
		In addition to being covered under laws prohibiting the unlicensed practice of medicine, tongue splitting is now explicitly illegal in some U.S. states (and banned in the U.S. military) and effectively all surgeons refuse to do it, so by necessity it is an underground practice.
		Tongue bifurcation is, however, not necessarily a surgical procedure.
