The world's youngest

Is this where we all should do our ceremonial "wow!"? Mark my word, this quest to have "The World's Youngest Black Belt" (the "Wow, look ma, I'm a deadly black belt!" syndrome) is gonna end with a Diaper-Dan™.

"He can't walk, he can't talk, but he's one deadly black belt toddler!"

Why not hand out black belts to pregnant women, to make their new-born an "Instant Black-Belt Member™?

Or better yet, why not just hand it out to everyone, so that parents planning to have a kid in a few years time can say that "we definitely have a black belt brewing here!" Not born yet - can't get any younger than that?

Now, excuse me while I go and call in sick...

Story:
Seven-year-old Tanner Gallego of Layton, Utah, is accustomed to smashing boards and making rubble of bricks to amaze his friends and family. But simply crushing raw building materials is not enough to become black belt in karate.

Recently, the 80-pound schoolboy completed a gruelling seven-hour examination to become the youngest black belt in the world.
