    This is wrong, of course!

    The hardest tongue twister is "The black bloke's back brake-block broke."

    The hardest tongue twister is actually quite simple:

    toy-boat.

    I have never come across a person that could say that five times fast without inevitably uttering: "toy-boit."

    How weird to see one of my sheep as an illustration for the article! I had to search all over to find where you'd found the shot (Wikipedia I guess now). Cheers!
