Are tongue prints unique?
Our tongue is really a unique organ. It contains information of two types: geometrical shape and physiological texture. This fact means that one might use his or her tongue as a kind of a "document" to confirm one's identity. That's not a joke: some tongue image databases have already been developed!

Watch where you put your tongue. It could cause you trouble!

dog's nose prints are also unique

Your tongue is the most dangerous weapon that a person has. You can use it to build a young child up to encourage and teach him, or you can use it to stunt his growth by knocking a young child down and killing his dreams and ambitions before he even starts. A man can take 30yrs to build a great business and reputation another can take less than 30days to ruin both business and reputation by some of those little white lies that people utter. Words can be dangerous.

Dar Numan, how do you cut it? - and why do you keep doing it?!
Judy West

Dar Numan, I have so many paper cuts on my fingertips that I can't get a good set of fingerprints. And there are many positive reasons for needing them!
Dar Numan
Okay, this may be true, but I have cut my tongue so many times that I doubt I could be positively identified by my tongue print.
