untitled17Oct.23 (THAINDIAN NEWS) Recently, on the ‘Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?’ a question ‘ Where is the hyoglossus muscle?’ was asked to Tony Wesrmoreland. He was unable to answer the question and had to call a friend. With his friend’s help, he won $50,000. With the question being asked, the muscle has become quite famous among netizens.

Now for all the people who are wondering where exactly it is located, its in your neck just below the Adam’s apple. It is used to move your tongue and is very very important while speaking and singing. Also, according to some anatomists this muscle is important for the males while having oral sex. This particular muscle never gets damaged until and unless the person is stabbed or has a stroke, in which case the muscle can be cut. The injury is almost unrecoverable and can frequently be overlooked. Also, its reparation depends upon the stab itself. The muscle is thin and arises from the body side.

‘Who wants to be a Millionaire?’ is a very popular show in the US. It offers a prize money of $1,000,000 to the one who wins. It airs on GSN. The first person to win the total prize money was Kevin Smith on Feb 18th, 2003. The second winner was a girl, Nancy Christy (May 8th, 2003) who still remains the only female winner. Among the celebrities that have appeared on the show, the most famous are, Katy Perry, Vanessa Williams, Sherri Shepherd, Lauren Conrad, Rachel Jay, Wyonna, Snoop Dogg, Steve Nash, Patricia Heaton, Shawn Johnson and Regis Philbin.
