Dear Doctor Science, Why does my tongue stick to the ice cube tray? -- Judy McGriff from Anchorage, AK Next time you put the tray in the freezer, try filling it with water instead of your tongue. I think you'll find that your parties will be more fun, your drinks will be colder, and you won't have to talk to your guests in a voice like Elmer Fudd's. As to the why of it, under subzero temperatures, your tongue secretes a clear paste that bonds like super glue. Superglue was originally created by forcing small children to put their tongues on cold swing sets. So remember, dress your tongue warmly. If you must put your tongue where it doesn't belong, make it a postage stamp. And never ever kiss if the temperature falls below thirty degrees. You're only opening yourself up to an embarrassing and potentially lethal social situation. ---------===========================================--------- __ __ ___ __ / // /_ ____ _ ___ ____ / _ )_______ ___ _/ /__ / _ / // / ' \/ _ \/ __/ / _ / __/ -_) _ '/ '_/ /_//_/\_,_/_/_/_/\___/_/ /____/_/ \__/\_,_/_/\_\
