- Maybe this is "just another urban legend" to most of us,
- but my great-uncle actually did have this problem about
- 110 years ago. He touched his tongue to an axe blade
- during a Russian winter, and lost a few taste buds in
- the process of freeing himself.

- The story came to me from my grandfather, who was present
- and witnessed his brother's embarrassment.
