I never really thought about it, but if you put your tongue on a frozen poll it freezes almost instantly. So it does make sense.
Hot water will freeze faster than cold water, but only if impurities exist in the water itself. Of course, impurities are generally a given, so the theory is quite sound, but if we're talking pure water, then hot water will in fact freeze slower than cold water. One of those weird little facts I learned in high school. Kinda like how distilled water will never boil.
I don't see what that has to do with the topic. Thats just the freezing and the fact saliva cools very fast when its exposed to fresh air. The thing you could better aks yourself is; Will a cold tongue freeze slower to a poll than a warm tongue?
hell yes a cold tongue will have had some of it's saliva freeze already, but a warm tongue will be covered in it. this is asuming that you mean 'covered in frost' when you say cold
Yeah i cant believe there are so many things i never knew about something as simple as water and now i have to pee....
