The world’s largest tonsils belong to ex-Kansas State basketball player

Justin Werner is the pride of Topeka, Kansas. How could he not be? The 21-year-old is the world record holder for having the biggest tonsils. No need to call Guinness. They already know.

The Topeka Capital-Journal spotlighted Werner’s gigantic tonsils — one measured in at 2.1 inches long, 1.1 inches wide and 0.7 inch thick and the other at

1.9 inches long, 1 inch wide and .7 inch thick. That was good enough to beat the old record holder, Milwaukee’s Justin Dodge, whose tonsils

were 0.8 inches and 0.6 inches shorter than Werner’s.
