Myth Confirmed: Tongue Will Stick to Frozen Metal Pole (or Dumpster)

It happened in Germany:
As Germany battled freezing weekend weather that caused transport chaos and at least six deaths, the witless youth, 16, stuck his tongue to a lamppost in the city of Saarlouis on Saturday night and had to be treated by paramedics after he tore himself loose.
[...]
Remarkably, paramedics said this was not the first such incident they had been called to help with on Saturday night in Saarland, where the temperature dropped to -20 degrees Celsius.
Actually, this is an international phenomenon. There are several recent examples here in the US:
- Boise, Idaho
- Vancouver, Washington
- Spokane, Washington
- Rapid City, South Dakota – Tongue stuck to a dumpster…yuck.
- Skiatook, Oklahoma
Asked if they would ever try this again, all of the kids involved said “Mo May!”

Recently, a local news anchor was dared (on Twitter) to ask Milwaukee tourists to please not lick the bronze Fonz due to the cold weather. He did it. I wish I could find the video.

December 21, 2009 @ 1:51 pmIt saddens me to think that with days of sub zero temperatures over here, none of the feckless British youth have had the wherewithall or initiative to add themselves to this hallowed list, sticking instead to the brain dead imbecilic things they can do the rest of the year. Young people these days, don’t even know they’re born…..
December 22, 2009 @ 12:27 pmOf course it is well known that this problem can be aleviated quickly and easily by using a stream of lukewarm water to free the poor lads tongue from the ice.
I will leave source of stream of warm water to your imagination.
