It's probably a size/strength ratio thing.

True, because the gastrocnemius (calf) is the strongest skeletal muscle.

if you measure from the top of your head to your feet then from your belly button to your feet and divide the numbers you will get a number ( i forget what it is..its something 1.689...something to 3 decimal places)...also if you measure from your hip to your feet and from your knee to your feet then divide you get the same number...if you measure from your shoulder to the tip of your middle finger then measure from your elbow to the tip of you middle finger you get the same number...if you divide the number of female bees by the number of male bees in a bee hive you will get the same number.....weird shit

The tounge isnt actually the strongest, depending on your definition it would either be the heart or gluteus maximus

Yes, the heart is the strongest muscle becuase it is obviously always beating. But you said the strongest skeletal muslce in the glutes maximus? Wouldn't it be the gastrocnemius, considering that you can push the most weight with it? More than twice as much of what you leg press?

LOL. When I used to take drum lessons, my teacher told me that one, and when I put my hand to my face he pushed my hand into my nose. Yeah it hurt like f*ck. I really wasn't mad though, because I was dumb enough to go along with it. :rofl:
