Werner did the research and a large amount of paperwork

oh man, trim.  you got your procedure done in the nick of time (not cancer related)

And Werner wanted to keep them, but that is no longer allowed.

“I’d have them trophied up on my desk right now, showing them off,” he said.

The whole article is a masterpiece. 

Other Guinness World Records from Kansas, according to the record-keeping institution’s website, include everything from the most basketball free throws in two minutes (88) by Centralia’s Bob Fisher, to the oldest serving judge in Wesley Brown (104 years old), to the oldest living cat in Pinky (21 years old), owned by Linda Anno, of Hoyt. Fisher has set eight total free throw world records.

eff yes Kansas

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) - A 21-year-old Topeka man has set a strange record.

Justin Werner was notified by the folks at Guinness World Records that the tonsils he had removed in January are the largest in the world.

1 of his tonsils was 2.1 inches long, 1.1 inches wide and 0.7 inch thick. The other as 1.9 inches long, 1 inch wide and .7 inch thick. He was notified in June that his tonsils easily beat the previous record held by Justin Dodge of Milwaukee.

Werner says he finds the record humorous.

Werner says the tonsils caused chronic sore throats and serious snoring for years. Those problems disappeared after the surgery.

His doctor, Tyler Grindal, told The Topeka Capital-Journal that it's impossible to know why Werner's tonsils were so large.
